As a teacher, she committed herself to the equality of female teachers, and worked with Leopoldine Glöckel and Auguste Fickert to overhaul Reichsvolksschulgesetzes 1867, a law governing schools. She also was one of the co-founders of the Vereins der Lehrerinnen und Erzieherinnen, ("Association of Teachers") which developed into the central association of Viennese women teachers.
