Louise Otto-Peters

She wrote for Der Wandelstern [The Wandering Star] and Sächsische Vaterlandsblätter [Saxon Fatherland Pages], and founded Frauen-Zeitung and Neue Bahnen specifically for women.

At this point, she began writing novels, short stories, poetry, and political articles to make a living.

Otto-Peters became friends with Robert Blum and other democrats, and this connection permitted her to contribute to their newspapers, specifically, Der Wandelstern [The Wandering Star] and Sächsische Vaterlandsblätter [Saxon Fatherland Pages].

Her first socio-political novel was Ludwig the Waiter (1843), followed by Castle and Factory (1846–1847), initially confiscated but brought attention to her works.
