Grete Meisel-Hess
Grete Meisel-Hess (18 April 1879, Prague – 18 April 1922, Berlin) was an Austrian Jewish feminist, who wrote novels, short stories and essays about women's need for sexual liberation.
Meisel-Hess lived in Vienna from 1893 to 1908. She viewed both anti-Semitism and anti-feminism as signs of degeneration which needed to be overcome by progressive politics.Alison Rose, Jewish women in fin de siècle Vienna, University of Texas Press, 2008, p. 100
She wrote for Franz Pfemfert's journal Die Aktion.Kevin Repp, '"Sexualcrise und Rasse": Feminist Eugenics at the Fin de Siècle', in Suzanne L. Marchand, David F. Lindenfeld, Germany at the fin de siècle: culture, politics, and ideas, p. 102
