Else Lasker-Schuler's life and work as a Jew, a woman, and a writer and artist in Nazi Germany and in other locations after Hitler's takeover are chronicled here. The book begins with her fleeing to Switzerland after receiving Germany's top literary prize, and then goes back to her childhood and follows her life through to its end in Jerusalem, where she died five months before Germany surrendered to the Allies. Her marriages to Dr. Berthold Lasker, brothe of the world chess champion, and to Herwarth Walden, founder of the avant-garde periodical, gallery and publishing house Der Sturm (The Storm), and her friendships with Martin Buber, Karl Kraus, Franz Marc, Gottfried Benn and Gershom Scholem are all covered.
