About the author
Born in Vienna on November 22, 1873, Marie Louise von Suttner was an Austrian writer and novelist. She was part of the Suttner family and was the niece of Bertha von Suttner, the famous peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Her best-known work is Wie es Licht geworden!, first published in 1898 and dedicated to Bertha von Suttner. Surviving catalog and biographical records identify her as an Austrian author, and public-domain listings suggest that only a small portion of her work remains widely circulated today.
She died in 1948 in Messancy, Belgium. Though not as widely remembered as some of her contemporaries, her writing still has value for readers interested in Austrian literature, women writers, and the cultural world surrounding the Suttner family.
