Life

Maria Janitschek, illegitimate child of an officer's family originating from Anna Tölk, grew up under poor conditions. Their training made ​​them partially in a Hungarian convent school. When she was 19 years old, she moved with her mother to Graz, where he pursued a journalistic activity under the pseudonym of Marius stone for the first time.

Artistic creation

The first books they published were poetry anthologies and collections of short stories. The fact that she could very well identify with the interests of the bourgeois women's movement, one can refer to the choice of subjects of their works: The way how they processed the love and marriage problems of the women of her time, that time was considered to be extremely revealing. In 1889 she published her first volume of poetry, earthly and unearthly dreams, in which the heavily criticized poem ' A modern woman ' was included. 1909 her short story collection The New Eve in Germany was banned. Émile Zola, Henrik Ibsen and Leo Tolstoy had in their eyes exemplary character, literary you have to assign it but the symbolism. She had a soft spot for strong female characters who become merciless avengers when they are wronged. In their epic works she went ostensibly after the dualism between the sensual and emotionally aligned side in man.
