The Frauenbildung-Frauenstudium association gained importance for Wiesbaden through the dentist Dr. Anna von Doemming. She led the association and its predecessor in the turbulent, conflict-ridden years of 1897-1900.

The Frauenbildung-Frauenstudium association, an amalgamation of various associations, had branches in many German cities. This was preceded by the struggle of the German women's movement to obtain the right to education, the Abitur and the fight for women's right to study at German universities.

Initially, the Frauenverein Reform (later renamed Frauenbildungsreform) was founded by Hedwig Kettler in Weimar on March 30, 1888. The aim was to provide equal grammar school education for girls and boys. From 1888-91, women submitted annual petitions in all German federal states in order to gain admission for women to take school-leaving examinations and to study at university. The first successes were achieved in Baden in 1892. The petition was forwarded to the government for consideration. Encouraged by this, the association in Karlsruhe decided to found the first girls' grammar school in Germany. The opening took place on 16.09.1893.

A major conflict arose at the general meeting of the Women's Education Reform Association on July 2 and 3, 1897 in Berlin. Hedwig Kettler was accused of having damaged the reputation of the Karlsruhe school. The general assembly elected a new board, whose election was not recognized as legally valid by Hedwig Kettler. As a result, a large proportion of the members left the association and reconstituted themselves under the name Verein Frauenbildung.

Anna von Doemming was elected as the new chairwoman. In addition to the reorganization of the Karlsruhe Girls' High School and intensive member recruitment, she prepared the merger of the Women's Education Association with the Women's Studies Association founded by Dr. Anita Augspurg. The decisive general meeting was held in Frankfurt on May 20 and 21, 1898. The most important item on the agenda was the merger of the two associations. Anna von Doemming remained first chairwoman and the association's headquarters became Wiesbaden. Dr. Anita Augspurg became 2nd chairwoman. The Frauenbildung-Frauenstudium association joined the Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine.

Initially, the board prepared the opening of the Karlsruhe boarding school for pupils of the girls' grammar school planned for September 1898 and coordinated the work of the increasing number of women members and the various departments of the association. In addition, the agitation for further girls' grammar schools and for women to obtain the right to study was promoted.

In October/November 1899, the Women's Education and Studies Association underwent further restructuring, which culminated in the withdrawal of the Berlin department on November 6, 1899. The changed association laws, regulated in the new German Civil Code (BGB) valid from 1900, made an extraordinary general meeting necessary in October 1899; it took place in Wiesbaden. The newly adopted statutes of the Verein Frauenbildung-Frauenstudiums were entered in the register of associations of the city of Wiesbaden.

At the general meeting on May 30/31, 1900 in Weimar, Anna von Doemming declined to continue as a member of the board, much to the regret of the women of the association. She concentrated her activities on the Wiesbaden Women's Education and Women's Studies Department, which organized the 5th General Assembly of the Federation of German Women's Associations in Wiesbaden in 1902.
