This contribution evaluates previous scholarship on the beginning of women’s study of mathematics at German universities and analyzes the special efforts of Felix Klein to advance this cause. It will also be shown when the first female mathematicians joined the German Mathematical Society, which was founded in 1890, and when female authors first published in the journal Mathematische Annalen, the chief editor of which was Klein himself. The study is based on materials from Klein’s archive in Göttingen, especially on the lists of students enrolled in his courses and on the protocols from his mathematics seminars. A special result of our research is that non-German women paved the way in Germany. Foreign women, like men, wanted to be qualified to study where the highest standards of scholarship could be expected, for some time they attempted to gain access to German universities even while official status as students could not yet be granted to them.
