Never comfortable with the traditional roles women were expected to play, as a young adult she broke both with her family and, after five years on his estate in the old Czarist Russia, with her German Junker husband, and set out as a independent, free-thinking individual, earning a precarious living as a writer. Zur Mühlen translated over 70 books from English, French and Russian into German, notably the novels of Upton Sinclair, which she turned into best-sellers in Germany; produced a series of detective novels under a pseudonym; wrote seven engaging and thought-provoking novels of her own, six of which were translated into English; contributed countless insightful short stories and articles to newspapers and magazines; and, having become a committed socialist, achieved international renown in the 1920s with her Fairy Tales for Workers? Children, which were widely translated including into Chinese and Japanese. Because of her fervent and outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she and her life-long Jewish partner, Stefan Klein, had to flee first Germany, where they had settled, and then, in 1938, her native Austria. They found refuge in England, where Zur Mühlen died, forgotten and virtually penniless, in 1951. 606 $aAuthors, Austrian$y20th century$vBiography 607 $aAustria$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aEurope, Central$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $aWorld War I 610 $aFirst World War 610 $aGreat War 610 $awomen's history 610 $amemoir 610 $abiography 610 $aautobiography 610 $aGermany 610 $aEuropean History 610 $aGerman literature 610 $aAustrian literature 610 $afeminism 610 $aNazism 610 $aAustro-Hungarian Empire 615 0$aAuthors, Austrian 676 $a833.912 700 $aZur Mühlen$b Hermynia$4auth$0599629 702 $aGossman$b Lionel 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910287938503321 996 $aThe Red Countess$93361763 997 $aUNINA
