Angela LangerAngela Langer was born on 21 December 1886 in Vienna, Austria, to a family immersed in the cultural richness of the region. Though little is widely recorded about her private life, her work suggests an acute sensitivity to the societal and emotional onstraints experienced by women in early 20th-century Europe. She authored the novel Rue and Roses, which reflects a deeply introspective voice and explores issues of family hardship, emotional isolation, and creative longing. The influence of her upbringing in Vienna, a city then steeped in intellectual and artistic movements, is evident in her portrayal of inner life and nuanced class structures. Langer died at the young age of 29 on 25 June 1916 in Kirchberg am Wagram, Austria. Her parents' identities are not widely documented, and her early death likely contributed to the limited recognition her work received during her lifetime. Nevertheless, Rue and Roses remains a poignant record of a young woman's inner world, highlighting Angela Langer's brief yet thoughtful contribution to early 20th-century literature.
