The writer born in Alexandria (1859-1941) lived in Weimar and Munich, where she joined the Verein für geistige Interessen der Frau in 1896 and served on the board until 1898. She was one of the most popular female authors of her time and was considered a "poet of the female soul" because of her fine psychologisation. The painter and poet Helene Raff (1865-1942), who was born in Wiesbaden, had been involved in the bourgeois women's movement since the 1890s; she joined the Verein für Fraueninteressen founded in Munich (1894) in 1899 and the female writers' association in 1913. From the very beginning, her works have focused on the transformation of the role of women in the present. Helene Raff's portrait of Gabriele Reuter was painted and exhibited at Munich's Glaspalast in 1896/97. This manuscript from October 1899 is a thank-you letter from Reuters for a letter from Raff.
