Life

Her grandfather and father were Jewish scholars and rabbis. Born as Ulla Hirschfeld, she came into contact with scientific and aesthetic interests at an early age. Her father took care of his daughter's education himself. She received further school education in Breslau. In 1869 she married the rabbi Dr. L. Frankfurter, who died in 1878. There were three children from this marriage, one of whom was Richard Frankfurter . In 1980 she married the Jewish industrialist Louis Wolff in her second marriage. She had two children with him. In 1880 she moved to Berlin and, after her first successes as a playwright, began to write because of financial need. As a journalist, she headed the Berlin feature section of the Hamburgischer Correpondent newspaper for more than 15 years and wrote for other newspapers and magazines, especially for the Berliner Tageblatt , the yearbook for Jewish history and literature , the Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums and the Breslauer Zeitung . Gustav Karpeles , Arthur Levysohn , Julius Stinde and Isidor Landau were among her friends . In her works, she advocates equal rights for women in education and often portrays strong, unconventional, independent and economically independent female figures.
