Susanne Dodillet
Susanne Dodillet (born 1977) is a Swedish feminist, historian and researcher at the University of Gothenburg. Early life and education Dodillet was born in Böblingen, and has been living in Sweden since 2001. Dodillet earned a master's degree in cultural education from the University of Hildesheim in Germany (2001) and a PhD in the history of ideas from the University of Gothenburg in 2009. Her doctoral thesis ''Är sex arbete?'' (Is sex work?) compared the Swedish and German policy process with respect to prostitution. In her dissertation she argued for rights for sex workers, including pension rights. Her thesis was considered very controversial, as her central claim contradicted the evidence of earlier research (from 1977) based on interviews with 219 sex workers which documented the lifelong interpersonal traumas that both led to and accompanied their life in prostitution.

People From Böblingen
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination.
