She served as a member of the Reichstag from 1919 to 1933 and founded the Workers' Welfare Committee, serving as its chairwoman from 1919 to 1933. She joined the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 1908, more than ten years before women acquired the right to vote, and pursued a career that included politics, becoming, in 1919, the first female Reichstag member to address a German parliament.
