- Meta_Schlichting_Berger abstract "Meta Schlichting Berger (b. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, February 23, 1873; d. Thiensville, Wisconsin, 1944) was a prominent female socialist organizer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and advocate for improved public schooling systems. She was also the wife of the prominent democratic socialist politician Victor L. Berger.She was educated at the Wisconsin State Normal School (now the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee). She taught primary school for three years before resigning in 1897 to marry Victor Berger.In 1909, Berger was elected to the Milwaukee school board. As a school board member, she supported progressive measures such as the construction of playgrounds, "penny lunches" and medical exams for children. She also advocated on behalf of teachers, working for tenure, a fixed-salary schedule and a pension system. Re-elected in 1915, Berger won three more times, serving a total of 30 years.In 1917, Berger joined the Milwaukee Emergency Peace Committee, a group that tried to prevent U.S. Navy recruiters from targeting schoolchildren.Her work for the school board led to her appointments to the Wisconsin State Board of Education, the Wisconsin Board of Regents of Normal Schools and University of Wisconsin Board of Regents. After her husbands'death in 1929, Berger was selected to fill his seat on the Socialist Party's National Executive Committee. The Bergers spent much of the 1920s traveling in Asia and Germany. After Victor's death in 1929, Berger's relationship with the Socialist Party grew strained, and she resigned in 1940. She died at her Thiensville farm in 1944.".
