Margarethe Sydow

Margarethe von Sydow ( pseudonym : Franz Rosen , born December 16, 1869 in Berlin as Karoline Franziska Margarethe von Weiß , † February 20, 1945 in Stolzenfelde ) was a German writer.

Life

Margarethe von Sydow grew up in the country. Her father was District Administrator Dr. jur. by Weiss. In 1890 she married the landowner Konrad von Sydow . The couple lived on Sydows Gut Stolzenfelde near Schönfließ ( Neumark ). In addition to her work as a housewife and mother, Margarethe von Sydow began writing. Up until the First World War , she published a number of novels and stories, mostly under the pseudonym Franz Rosen , which were occasionally reprinted into the twenties. She donated the material income from her literary work to charity. She acknowledged the traditional way of working and did not take part in the development of modernity. In her novels she tries to trace the inner life of the people and the psychological development of the characters.

“The author, who has already proven herself to be a skilful narrator through several novels, takes an energetic position here on the sensational work“ The dangerous age ”by Karin Michaelis . She says the book outraged her and, on the other hand, made her think. “It seemed to me a duty against my gender to comment on the claims made by Ms. Karin Michaelis. As well as you, I have the right to proclaim the truths that life taught me. ”And according to this principle, a German woman creates a counterpart to the book of the Danish woman with the same people and circumstances, but with a different worldview in order to reduce the exaggerated and morbid in Karin Michaelis to absurdity. The grippingly written book is of interest to everyone who has dealt with the question of "dangerous old age". "
