| Abstract | Report on a research project. "This dissertation focuses on Austrian and German women emigres, such as Gisela Konopka from Germany and the Viennese social worker Elsa Leichter, who fled from the National Socialists and settled in the United States, where they pursued careers as social work professionals. My project investigates these women's lives and careers and traces their professional networks as they related to the social, professional, and academic culture of the United States at a time when the social sciences were expanding greatly and gaining significant public authority." |
