Discover 7 extraordinary women with ivie
ivie, the free city guide app for Vienna, offers “7 Great Women, 7 Great Places”, a sightseeing experience dedicated to exceptional female role models. “7 Great Women, 7 Great Places” tells the story of Vienna as the home and adopted home of women who broke with traditional gender roles. The city guide presents famous figures who paid little heed to the conventions of their time and links them with Viennese places and institutions that are well worth a visit.
They include names such as the psychoanalyst Anna Freud and the hotelier Anna Sacher, but also women whose work has received far too little attention over the decades. This is because the male-dominated perception of history has obscured many exciting accounts of women’s achievements. Take Nannette Streicher, for example, one of the most remarkable women in Vienna in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
