Works
Her published books span poetry, short fiction, travel writing, a novel, and a memoir — all in German, all in the public domain. Each entry links to the original scan and, where ready, to an English translation.

Tollkraut
Her first collection of short fiction — ten novellas, dedicated to Konrad Telmann.
-
Via passionis
A book of 'life-songs' — her first major poetry collection.

On the Artistic Education of Woman
Her 1896 lecture to the International Women's Congress in Berlin, demanding that the art academies be opened to women — her feminism in her own words.

Noch einmal „Mors Imperator“
An elegiac poem-cycle mourning her husband Konrad Telmann, its title reprising her famous painting.

Flammenmal
Poems under a Leonardo epigraph — a book she illustrated with reproductions of her own paintings.

A novel that follows its heroine Indra from Berlin across India, Ceylon, Burma, and Japan — named for Tokyo's pleasure district.
