Famous for her poetry and infamous for her bohemian lifestyle, as well as her association with political radicals, Else Lasker-Schuler (1869-1945) is only now returning to just renown as one of the few women writers within the Expressionist movement of the early twentieth century. These plays--"Dark River, Arthur Aronymus and His Ancestors, "and "I and I"--put Lasker-Schuler on a par with Brecht in her day.
