Tatiana Grigorovici (née Pisterman, 31 March 1877 – 25 September 1952), was an Austro-Hungarian and Romanian Marxist social democratic labour activist and economic theorist.
Biography
Grigorovici was born in Kamenetz-Podolski, then part of the Russian Empire, as the 14th child of a wealthy Jewish merchant family.[1]
Grigorovici was one of the few women of her generation who were able to complete a university degree. She went to both the University of Vienna in Austria-Hungary and the University of Bern in Switzerland, where she studied philosophy and political economy and discovered her fascination for Marxism, especially for Karl Marx's economic writings and Das Kapital.[1] Her doctoral thesis covered Marx and Ferdinand Lassalle and was titled Die Wertlehre bei Marx und Lassalle (1910).[2]
During her time living in Switzerland, Grigorovici maintained relations with Russian socialist organizations.[3]
Grigorovici's writings discussed of the concept of "socially necessary labour"[4] outlined the roles that women had within the process of progress[5] and promoted class struggle.[6]
In 1903, Grigorovici married Gheorghe Grigorovici, a Romanian medical school student in Vienna and fellow social democrat. In 1906, they moved to Czernowitz, in his native Bukovina.[1] Their only son, Radu Grigorovici, became a physicist.
