The Women of the Bauhaus

In collaboration with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at DU, we are pleased to offer the following daytime online OLLI at DU courses to all Enrichment Program students. If you are already an OLLI member or are interested in becoming one, please enroll here: portfolio.du.edu/olli.

Although the prospectus of Weimar's Bauhaus school stated that women were to be treated equally, there was discrimination. Women made up around one third of the students there, but only one became a master and most were herded into the weaving workshop. In this course, German language specialist Linda Susak, reviews the concept, philosophy and workings of Bauhaus, then covers gender identification, the discrimination the female students experienced and some of the women’s achievements.
