The good news: the proportion of streets in Mainz named after female personalities has continued to rise since the last review in 2019. There are now 85 streets and squares named after women. The bad news, however, is that this represents just five percent of the city's approximately 1,600 streets, squares, and alleys.

To ensure that future local councils, which have the right to propose street names, do not run out of women's names, the new brochure also offers a list of over 130 women worthy of honor—including over 80 from Mainz. 

"Forgotten Women" is available in digital and print form from the Women's Office.
