Fifteen female scholars attended the congress. Phonetician Louise Kaiser (1891-1973), Africanist Maria Klingenheben-von Tiling (1886-1974), classicist Christine Mohrmann (1903-1988) or celtologist Marie-Louise Sjöstedt (1900-1940) to name just some.

Christine Mohrmann was one of only 35 women who attended the 1st International Congress of Linguists in The Hague (1928). However, only 14 were scholars. The other 21 were nuns from Nijmegen and female relatives of male participants.

Dotaz k dějinám české lingvistiky:

Napadají vás ženy lingvistky, důležité pro rozvoj české jazykovědy, které jsou ale nyní neprávem zapomenuty?

PS: Nejde mi o současné, žijící jazykovědkyně, ale třeba o 19. století nebo první polovinu 20. století.
