  • Helene Stöcker (13 November 1869 in Wuppertal – 24 February 1943 in New York) was a German feminist, pacifist and sexual reformer. Stöcker was raised in a Calvinist household and attended a school for girls which emphasized rationality and morality. She moved to Berlin to continue her education and then she studied at the University of Bern, where she became one of the first German women to receive her doctorate. In 1905 she helped found the League for the Protection of Mothers (BfM, Bund für Mutterschutz), and she became the editor of the organization's magazine Mutterschutz (1905-1908) and then Die Neue Generation (1908-1932). Stöcker's influential new philosophy, called the New Ethic, advocated the equality of illegitimate children, legalization of abortion, and sexual education, all in the service of creating deeper relationships between men and women which would eventually achieve women's political and social equality. During World War I and the Weimar period, Stöcker's interest shifted to activities in the peace movement. In 1921 in Bilthoven, together with Kees Boeke und Wilfred Wellock, she founded PACO . She was also very active in the Weimar sexual reform movement. The Bund für Mutterschutz sponsored a number of sexual health clinics, which employed both lay and medical personnel, where women and men could go for contraception, marriage advice, and sometimes abortions and sterilization. From 1929 to 1932, she took one last stand for abortion rights. After a 1930 papal encyclical denounced sex without the intent to procreate, the radical sexual reform movement collaborated with the Socialist and Communist parties to launch one final campaign against paragraph 218, which prohibited abortion. Stöcker added her iconic voice to a campaign that ultimately failed. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, Stöcker fled first to Switzerland and then to England when the Nazis invaded Austria. Stöcker was attending a PEN writers conference in Sweden when war broke out and remained there until the Nazis invaded Norway, at which point she took the Trans-Siberian Railroad to Japan and finally ended up in the United States in 1942. She moved into an apartment on Riverside Drive in NYC and died there of cancer in 1943.
  • Helene Stöcker war eine deutsche Frauenrechtlerin, Sexualreformerin, Pazifistin und Publizistin. Sie gründete 1905 den Bund für Mutterschutz (später ab 1908 Deutscher Bund für Mutterschutz und Sexualreform), der sich für unverheiratete Mütter und ihre Kinder einsetzte.
  • Helene Stöcker fue una pacifista, feminista y publicista alemana. Fundó en 1903 la "Bund für Mutterschutz und Sexualreform" para la protección de madres solteras y sus hijos. Sus posturas liberales acerca de la sexualidad (en particular la homosexualidad) eran consideradas excesivamente radicales para mucha gente de su época. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y el periodo de la República de Weimar, los intereses de Stöcker se trasladaron a actividades del movimiento pacifista. En 1921 fundó en Bilthoven, junto a Kees Boeke y Wilfred Wellock, el "Internationale der Kriegsdienstgegner", una unión internacional de pacifistas. Cuando los Nazis obtuvieron el poder en Alemania, Stöcker huyó primero a Suiza y posteriormente a Inglaterra cuando los Nazis invadieron Austria. Stöcker atendía una conferencia de escritores PEN en Suecia cuando estalló la guerra, y permaneció allí hasta que los Nazis invadieron Noruega, tras lo cual cogió el tren trans-siberiano a Japón y finalmente acabó en Estados Unidos en 1942. Se mudó a un apartamento en Riverside Drive en Nueva York y murió allí de cáncer en 1943.
