Biography[edit]
She was born Emilie Maria Sofie Ecker in Wolkersdorf on 28 October 1877.[1] Her father Michael Ecker was a notary in Stockerau, and through her mother, Adele Ecker, she was related to the Moravian journalist Emil Pindter.[1] She attended elementary and public schools in Stockerau.[1] On 11 August 1896, at the age of only nineteen, she married Adalbert Stradal, who was sixteen years her senior and came from a German-Bohemian family.[1] They had four children: Hedwig, Hermann, Albert and Otto.[1]
Stradal was part of the middle-class women's movement.[2] She joined the People’s Party at the early period of the First Austrian Republic and represented the party at the Parliament between 1920 and 1923.[1] She contributed to the efforts of Therese Schlesinger in relation to female students' access to boys’ high schools and higher education.[3] Stradal also argued that women’s secondary schools should be established and that private girls’ schools should be made public schools.[4] Her first proposal was legalized with a ministerial decree dated 30 July 1921.[4] She died in 1925.[1]
