She moved to Vienna in the 1920s and there achieved success in 1930 with her play Yesterday & Today which deals with pedagogical eros . On the strength of the play's acclaim, she moved to Weimar Berlin where a lesbian culture thrived. She moved to France in the late 1930s and joined the French Resistance.
