The gifted song composer Josephine Lang was born on March 14, 1815 in Munich into a family of musicians. Her encounter with the 21-year-old Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in 1830 was a turning point in her artistic development. She recalled, “Meeting this Master brought about a complete transformation in my being. His spirit brought me light, his work gave me an ideal.” Mendelssohn had the idea that Josephine Lang should come to his parents’ house in Berlin to receive piano lessons from his sister Fanny and composition lessons from Friedrich Zelter. But the father couldn’t bring himself to let his daughter go. Nevertheless, Felix Mendelssohn remained a model for the 16-year-old composer on the path to musical maturity. In the 1830s Mendelssohn expanded their musical circles and increased their productivity. Josephine Lang published at least five collections of songs between 1834 and 1838 and was recognized in the Neue Zeitung für Musik. Concerts on a larger scale took place. Josephine Lang was a versatile composer, stylistically somewhere between Mendelssohn and Schumann.

In 1921, Women’s Day was moved to 8 March at Zetkin’s request, because on 8 March 1917 women textile workers in St Petersburg had gone on strike under the slogan “Peace and Bread!”, thus making the day globally significant.

International Women’s Day is a public holiday in 26 countries around the world. Within Germany, only in the federal state of Berlin – since 2019.

In keeping with Women’s Day, Furore Verlag has published four volumes of the series “Mund auf statt Klappe zu” (“Shout up with your song! Songs from the Women’s Movement”) in recent years, in which songs of the international women’s movement from different epochs and countries have been published.

The history of the women’s movement includes numerous songs that musically underpinned and loudly expressed demands for equal rights, appropriate working conditions, political and social participation, self-determination …
