Born in Mannheim (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). Lived in London and Zürich, died in London. Mathilde's radical politics - which would eventually be felt in her strong feminist and social works - helped to engender a considerable independence of mind which was evident as early as her school years. She was subsequently expelled from school for atheism and later she followed her hero George Eliot in her commitment to the word of David Friedrich Strauss, author of Das leben Jesu and part of the higher criticism of the Bible movement.
