In the centenary of the Bauhaus foundation new studies were released about the role women played as part of the school instituted by Walter Gropius. In fact, the conquest for them of being able to reach the university or academic high level education, is one of the novelties registered in Germany during Weimar Republic years; therefore the Bauhaus, in its initial assumptions and in line with the republican Constitution, newly launched in 1919, opened its doors to the female community who responded with numerous applications. Soon, this professed equality, proved to be just illusory: growing numbers of women were driven exclusively towards the weaving workshops, moreover the access to different laboratories turned out to be more difficult than expected. For the foregoing reasons, this study focuses on some female figures who succeeded beyond the mere weaving workshops (in which Anni Albers and Otti Berger stood out among the others): Gertrud Grunow for pedagogy, Marianne Brandt for metallurgy and lighting engineering, Lucia Moholy and Irene Hoffmann for photography, Alma Buscher for designing toys and furniture, and especially Lilly Reich for interior design. The Reich and its connection with Mies van der Rohe are still matter of investigations that are redefining the nature of its role and authorship
