Rosa Obermayer Mayreder was an Austrian artist and writer, as well as a well-known free-thinker and activist for gender and peace causes. She was born into the family of a wealthy restaurant operator (Franz Arnold Obermayer) and his second wife Maria and had twelve sisters and brothers. Although, as a female, she was denied the opportunity for higher education, she was allowed to participate in her brothers' Greek and Latin lessons and received art lessons from Hugo Darnaut and Edvard Charlemon. Since women were not allowed into art schools, she would later found the Art School for Women and Girls. She also wrote novels, autobiographies, essays, art reviews (under the pseudonym Franz Arnold), and the libretto for Hugo Wolf's opera Der Corregidor. She married architect Karl Mayreder.
