Pappenheim swiftly carried out his task, encountering a most desperate resistance, but always successful; and in a few weeks he had crushed the rebellion with ruthless severity (actions of Efferdingen, Gmünden, Vocklabruck and Wolfsegg, 15th-30th November 1626).
Hess, Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim (Leipzig, 1855);
Pappenheim devoted her life to improving the social and economic position of Jewish women and children in Germany and successfully enlisted nationwide and international support for her causes as founder and leader of the Juedischer Frauenbund.
Pappenheim committed herself to integrating her new passion for feminism with her concerns for social justice and her identity as a Jew.
Pappenheim characterized this aspect of her work as "Sysiphean" because the progress she made in awareness raising often brought about strong resistance from Jewish communities who denied the extent of social problems among their own ranks.
