With the advent of the Weimar Republic, the legal position of women was reinforced: they could vote, they could study without any limitations and were also most. Due to the loss for the previous war many men, there was a surplus of about two million women of marriageable age. This surplus female forced them to face the fact give substance to his life as it was more than likely that they could never marry.

Cover, Las mujeres de la Bauhaus: de lo bidimensional al espacio total, by Josénia Hervás.
In this book, the author Josenia Hervas, makes explicit the tenacity of those women who joined the training that practiced in schools in which they came to form, showed that they had sufficient capacity to develop any intellectual activity as complex as it is outside. These women fighters, as called Ida A.R.Wylie, never a "current little ladies" Bauhaus managed to culminate in a highly qualified education. They became industrial engineers and architects.
The book shows the lesser known side of the most famous school: the work of the architects that emerged from the Bauhaus.
Las mujeres, en un principio, con ser admitidas ya se daban por satisfechas. Eran disciplinadas, muy trabajadoras y se conformaban con las tareas que se les asignaba. Todos los estudiantes conocían las dificultades que acarreaba el ingreso y ser admitido era un hecho trascendente. Käthe Brachmann, agradecía en 1919 poder formar parte del alumnado: “Por lo tanto, nosotras las mujeres, también vinimos a esta escuela, porque cada una de nosotras encontró un trabajo que realizar aquí ¡que no nos atrevíamos a descuidar! ¡Puede que nadie envidiase nuestro trabajo! Gracias a todos aquellos que nos lo concedieron…” Somos nosotras, las siguientes generaciones de arquitectas, historiadoras, ingenieras, publicistas, diseñadoras… las que envidiamos y resaltamos su trabajo. Cuando Isabelle Anskombe contactó a principios de 1981, a través de Gunta Stölzl, con Marianne Brandt, ésta se encontraba en un asilo cercano a su lugar de nacimiento (antigua DDR) y quedó gratamente sorprendida del interés despertado.
