Biography In 1885, Clara Wichmann was born in Hamburg, the daughter of Carl Ernst Arthur Wichmann and Johanna Theresa Henriette Zeise. In 1902, she studied philosophy and the works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. She went on to study law between 1903 and 1905, and started to push for its reform. In 2005, the institute studied the issue of positive discrimination, or discrimination against women on religious grounds, and its relationship with international treaties on gender equality. That same year, Ellie Smolenaars published Passie voor vrijheid, a biography on Wichmann.
