Jenny Apolant (1874–1925) was a German Jewish feminist and women's suffrage activist.[1] Apolant played a key role in the early movement for women's rights in Germany.[2]
In 1907, Apolant established the Information Center for Women's Community Services, a project of the General German Women's Association (Allgemeinen Deutschen Frauenverein). During her time in the organization, she authored numerous writings on the role of women in German society.[1] She was a member of the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith.[1]
From 1919 to 1924, Apolant served as a DDP municipal councillor in Frankfurt, making her one of the first women to hold such position.[3] In 1922, she founded the Political Workers Association (Politische Arbeitsgemeinschaft) which provided women with political education and prepared them to hold public office.[4][5]
