She spent her difficult childhood (both of her parents often abused her physically) in the countryside. When she was only sixteen years old, she fled to the nearest large town where she worked as a secretary. In January 1899, she moved to Trieste, where Slovenka was published. Although she had not attended secondary school, she longed to study. Her dream came true in Bern (Switzerland), where female students could study at the university after a successful interview with the rector. After a few months she dropped out of the university, because she could not simultaneously study and earn enough money to make it from one day to another. In 1906, Kveder moved with her family to Zagreb (Croatia). She committed suicide in the year 1926.
Considered first professional Slovene woman writer.
Traveller, journalist, novelist.
Translator
