Erika Morini was an Austrian-American violinist who was active during the 20th century. She was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1902 and began her career as a child prodigy, giving her first public concert at the age of 5. She studied at the Vienna Conservatory with Otakar Ševčík, one of the most prominent violin teachers of the time, and made her professional debut at the age of 12.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Morini performed throughout Europe and the United States, and was considered one of the leading violinists of her time. She was particularly known for her performances of the works of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and Mozart. She also performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, such as the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Erika Morini emigrated to the United States in 1939, following the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany. She continued to perform and teach throughout her career, and passed away in 1995 in New York City.
The beginning of the twentieth century was a period of dramatic change for women in the West. In the late Victorian period women were constricted by a patriarchal social structure. But the early twentieth century saw the creation of the Suffragette movement, the catalyst for the rapid social change that occurred over the rest of the century. With career options other than marriage and motherhood opening up to them, women engaged with politics, served in the two world wars, made an impact on the artistic and literary worlds and experienced social and sexual liberation. Between 1880 and 1910, the number of women employed in the United States increased from 2.6 million to 7.8 million. Women's organizations in towns and cities across the U.S. were working to promote suffrage, better schools, the regulation of child labor, women in unions, and liquor prohibition. By emphasizing traditional traits, female social reformers created new spaces for themselves in local and then national government even before they had the right to vote.
