Did you know... that Olga Ehrenhaft-Steindler, the first woman to earn a physics doctorate at the
University of Vienna, co-founded the first Viennese commercial academy for girls?

I like the hook but would it be possible to propose alternative hooks? In the past there were concerns made on DYK about hooks solely about "first woman to do X". I would approve the current hook as-is but I'm not sure if other editors would agree; thus, just to be on the safe side I'd ask if there are possible alternatives.

Interesting life on fine sources, and I can read the German, no copyvio obvious. Why no image? While I agree that the original hook would be a bit bland, I strike ALT1 as true for many girls, and without any hint at doctorate and physics, which some would still think is not for girls. How about combining the original and ALT2,

The current image in the article is CC BY-NC-SA
[5], and
this one doesn't seem to have a copyright notice at all. So I think neither can be displayed on the main page (although I'd love to be mistaken), and I didn't find any other images of her.
ALT4 ... that Olga Ehrenhaft-Steindler, after earning a physics doctorate in 1903, co-founded the first Viennese commercial academy for girls?
Thank you, both fine (I simplified ALT3)! I wonder how any image of a woman who died in 1933 can be under copyright. --

Wouldn't the photographer have to have died 70+ years ago? Seems likely but not necessary even though she looks rather young in the photo. --
