action
Louise Otto grows up as the well-protected daughter of the court director Fürchtegott Wilhelm Otto and his wife Charlotte in Meißen . At an early age she showed sympathy for political and social problems and thus met resistance from her bourgeois environment. She turns down the rich Baron Rödern's wedding offer and begins a relationship with the young, committed teacher August Peters. Luise begins to write socially critical novels and founds Germany's first women's magazine.
In the fighting of the 48s revolution , she meets the wounded August again, who is wanted by the police. She cannot prevent him from being arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison. After his imprisonment, Louise and August marry.
