- Huch became the first female student admitted to the University of Zurich (possibly because she came from a wealthy family, as well as being brilliant); there she studied history, philosophy, and philology, and earned a doctorate in history in 1892. She was also the President of the first Congress of German writers in Berlin and the first woman to be admitted to the Prussian Academy of Literature (1931).
