I am editing Otto-Peters page and haven't found reliable sources for these facts. I'm putting them here so someone might find information.


 * She witnessed the effects of the industrial revolution taking place in Germany and supported campaigns for political and social reform.
 * Otto-Peters was inspired by the revolutionary ideas sweeping across Europe in 1848. In that year she founded the newspaper, Frauen-Zeitung (Women's News). Its masthead bore the paper's motto: Dem Reich der Freiheit werb ich Bürgerinnen! ( "I am recruiting female citizens for the realm of freedom!"). It inspired the formation of women's circles across Germany. Frauen-Zeitung was suppressed in 1852 and Otto-Peters retired from political life for a while.
 * In 1865, she co-founded, with Auguste Schmidt and others, the "Allgemeiner Deutscher Frauenverein" (General Union of German Women) in Leipzig. The goals of the Union were stated in Otto-Peters' pamphlet Das Recht der Frauen auf Erwerb (Women's Right to Work).
 * The Union had 11,000 members by 1876. Otto-Peters served as joint president, with Schmidt, for the rest of her life. They also jointly edited the house journal, Neue Bahnen (New Paths).

These facts are supposedly from the Brooklyn Museum database, however, I can't find a page on Otto-Peters in the Brooklyn Museum database. If there are any questions or concerns about this or my other edits feel free to get in touch. Gandhi (BYU) (talk) 16:21, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
