About the author

Born in 1869 and later known as Eva Gräfin von Baudissin, she became one of the successful women writers of her time. Library and archival sources describe her as an author who was very popular in the early 1900s, even though she is much less remembered today.

Her writing covered several forms, including novels, short prose, and books for younger readers. She was active in Munich's literary world and is associated with the Münchner Schriftstellerinnen-Verein, where she took on a leading role after 1927.

She died in 1943. The surviving record suggests a writer with a substantial public presence in her own era, and recent archival interest has helped bring attention back to a body of work that once reached a large readership.
