Luise Aston

She married Samuel Aston, a wealthy factory owner of English descent, in 1835.

After her second divorce she lived in Berlin with the poet Rudolf Gottschall, befriended Otto von Corvin and Max Stirner and walked around on the street smoking cigars dressed as a male.

[citation needed] Aston was therefore criticized by both the women's movement and the conservative society for different reasons because of her view that it should be allowed to have a sexual love relationship without being married.

[citation needed] Aston was watched by the police, who sent agents to her home and read her letters.

He was forced to guarantee that she would not meet his patients or live in his quarters; he was also accused of having allowed an unmarried pregnant woman to remain in his employ and of having given her his care.

"[5] The police agent reported that she had few female friends, but many male ones, who often visited her and "had the appearance of democrats."

"[6] Her spouse had a wild rose carved upon her grave stone, and at his own, wrote, "The one God gave a woman, was given a treasure.

"[5] "I have asked for permission to wear male attire so that I can hear the lectures at the university.
