Margarete Freudenthal-Sallis

Margarete Freudenthal-Sallis (1894–1984) was a German sociologist.

Life

Margareta David was born to a Jewish family in 1894 (some sources say 1893) in Speyer. She started studying art history and then economics in 1914 but left university upon marriage in 1917. Aged 22, she married Berthold Freudenthal, a law professor twice her age.[1] Initially lacking any practical knowledge of housekeeping, she became interested in understanding its history. After her husband's death she returned to university,[2] studying under Karl Mannheim at Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main.[3] She completed a PhD in sociology in 1933 researching the changing role of women in the household economy.[4][5]

Freudenthal later emigrated to Palestine, where she remarried.[2]
