Life

Zepler grew up as the daughter of Max Meir Wÿgodzinski (1834–1909) and his wife Nanny Wÿgodzinski in upper-class, Jewish circumstances in Berlin. Her sisters were Paula Wygodzinski, Martha Hedwig Wygodzinski , a doctor who was murdered in Theresienstadt, and Alma Dzialoszinski. The father Max Wÿgodzinski was the founder of the “Israelite Teachers Home” in Berlin.

Zepler married Georg Zepler (1859–1925), a gynecologist and SPD member of parliament for Berlin- Charlottenburg , who at times also published the newspaper “Der Demokratie”. The two worked together with the publicist Lu Märtens , among others .

In addition to her literary work, from 1908 onwards Zepler organized the “Women's Movement” section in the Socialist monthly magazines , which are assigned to the revisionist wing of the SPD. The Nazis banned the book Die Frau und der Krieg , which Wally Zepler published in 1916.
