The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. You can locate your hook here.No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Interesting article which is new enough and sourced. Copyvio returns a score of 2.9% so violation unlikely. Both hooks are interesting and supported by their sources but my personal preference is for ALT1. Spiderpig662 (talk) 22:39, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After her marriage, [Ida Barber] and her husband moved to Leipzig. There, in the spring of 1877, she founded the Leipzig Housewives' Association, modelled on Lina Morgenstern's Berlin Housewives' Association (1873). By the autumn, the Leipzig association already had over 1,500 members. ("Nach ihrer Heirat übersiedelte sie mit ihrem Mann nach Leipzig. Dort gründete sie im Frühjahr 1877 den Leipziger Hausfrauen-Verein nach Vorbild von Lina Morgensterns Berliner Hausfrauenverein (1873). Bereits im Herbst zählte der Leipziger Verein über 1.500 Mitglieder.")
Second quote:
In the 1890s, [Ida Barber] began to agitate against the harmful effects of constricting corsets on so many women and promoted the so-called 'reform dress.' ("In den 1890er Jahren beginnt sie dann gegen die für so viele Frauen schädlichen Folgen der einschnürenden Korsagen zu agitieren und propagiert das sogenannte „Reformkleid".")
