Author Biography
Elza Johanna Emilija Lizete Pliekšāne (née Elza Rozenberga,1865 – 1943) is a Latvian poet and playwright, best known by her pen name Aspazija. She wrote her first poems at the age of 14 in German, greatly inspired by the German tradition in writing. In her plays, she often reflected upon the woman's struggle against dogma and prejudice, and the person's right to self-determination. During the 1905 Revolution, Aspazija actively participated in socio-political events, and her play Silver Veil became a symbol of the Latvian national intellectual awakening. To escape political persecution by the end of 1905, Aspazija and Rainis moved to Switzerland, where they lived until 1920. After their return, Aspazija joined the Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party and was elected to the constitutional assembly, where she advocated for women's rights.
