With the arrival of the Weimar Republic, the legal position of the women was reinforced: they could vote, they could study without limitation and they were also the majority. Due to the loss by the preceding war of many men, there was a surplus of about two million women of marriageable age. This female surplus forced them to assume the fact of filling their lives with content as it was more than likely that they could never marry. Their tenacity together with the training they practiced in the schools they entered to form, showed that they had sufficient capacity to develop any intellectual activity, however complex it may be. These struggling women, as Ida A.R. Wylie would call them, never "ordinary women", managed to culminate in the Bauhaus highly qualified studies. They became industrial engineers and architects. The lesser known side of the most famous school is shown in the book: the work of the architects that emerged from the Bauhaus. Considered a progressive academic institution, as it declared equality amongst students of all genders. "Apparently this was an institution open to all, proclaiming an egalitarian utopia, although it concealed a dubious secret: 'a glass ceiling', a tenacious filter, almost insuperable, in the access [of women] to the study of architecture" (HKB Translation) --Page 11
