Now largely forgotten, Hannelore Mabry was born in 1930 and is a women’s right activist, sociologist, actress and critic of the Church. Although never affiliated to the party, she was among those primarily responsible for the decision of the Greens’ to become the first party to stipulate that its party ballots be made up of fifty percent women in order to assure equal representation in parliament. Today, she lives a secluded life in Munich. She worked with the “Frauenforum” toward establishing a feminist party in which the child was central to all political considerations. The women’s movement, whose followers were growing younger, had ever-less understanding for her theoretical approach.
