Life
Christen was born in 1839 in Vienna. Her father was imprisoned for joining one of the revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire and he died young.[2]
Her only child died in 1866, and her first husband died in 1868.[2] She started publishing under pen names in journals around this time.[2] In 1868 she had her first book of poems, Songs of a Lost Girl (Lieder einer Verlorenen) published with the assistance of the writer Friedrich of Saarland.[2] This book was very popular and was published again the next year.[2] In total she wrote four books of poetry.[2] She also wrote short stories and sketches about surviving on the margins.[3] She remarried in 1873, and became financially secure again with that marriage.[2]
She died in 1901.[2]
