About Fanny Stahr - von Lutzow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Lewald

Fanny Lewald (21 March 1811 – 5 August 1889) was a German author and feminist

Life and career[edit] She was born at Königsberg in East Prussia. Lewald was born Jewish, and when seventeen years of age, she converted to Christianity. She traveled in the German Confederation, France and Italy. In 1841 she published her first novel in her cousin August Lewald's periodical Europa, under the title Der Stellvertreter. In 1845, she settled at Berlin. Here, in 1854, she married the author Adolf Stahr. In 1876, after his death, she moved to Dresden, where she engaged in literary work until her death in 1889.

Among the best known of her novels are:

Klementine (1843) Jenny (1843) Prinz Louis Ferdinand (1849; 2nd ed., 1859) Das Mädchen von Hela (1860) Von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht (8 vols, 1863–1865) Nella (1870) Die Erlöserin (1873) Benvenuto (1875) Stella (1883; English trans. by B. Marshall, 1884) Of her writings in defence of the emancipation of women, Osterbriefe für die Frauen (1863) and Für und wider die Frauen (1870) are conspicuous. She also wrote sketches of travel. Her autobiography, Meine Lebensgeschichte (6 vols, 1861–1862), affords glimpses of the literary life of her time.

A selection of her works was published under the title Gesammelte Schriften in 12 vols (1870–1874), and separately, in English as "Recollections of 1848" and "The Education of Fanny Lewald", translated by Hanna Lewis.
