Hanna Bieber-Böhm (6 February 1851 – 15 April 1910) was a German feminist and pioneer of social work. She established an organization to assist young women seeking work in Berlin and help protect them from becoming prostitutes, and founded a recreation home for women where they could also be trained in housework and gardening. She was in favor of combating prostitution through strong laws penalizing the clients of prostitutes. ==Early life== Hanna Elmire Flora Böhm was born in Glaubitten, East Prussia on 6 February 1851. She was the eldest of eight children of the landowner Otto Böhm and his wife Bertha. Her mother died in 1870, and Hanna had to assume the maternal role. After her father married again in 1874 she became free to devote herself to art. Hanna Böhm went to Berlin to study painting, and would practice this art for the rest of her life. Her early work includes portraits of her family and views of the family house in Glaubitten. She traveled to study art in Italy, Tunisia, Greece and Constantinople. Her ink drawings, watercolors and paintings of everyday scenes and people from this period have been preserved. Her portraits, genre paintings and landscapes sold well in Germany, Italy and North America. She was represented with three oil paintings at the exhibitions of the Konigsberg Art Association in 1883 and 1887. In 1888, when she was thirty-seven, Hanna married the lawyer Richard Bieber (born 1858), whom she had met while studying in Berlin. He was seven years her junior. Bieber was Jewish in origin, but had become Christian. He wanted to marry in St. Mary's Church, but Protestant pastors refused a church wedding. This caused Hanna Böhm to reject the Protestant church. The couple had a civil marriage, which remained childless. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hanna Bieber-Böhm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
