Greetings, I am Jenny von Westphalen. My birth took place on February 12, 1814, in the charming town of Salzwedel in Northern Germany. Best known for my endeavors as a German theatre critic and political activist, I embarked on a lifelong journey of intellectual exploration and social advocacy. In 1843, I united my path with that of the esteemed philosopher and political economist Karl Marx. Through our shared convictions and dedication to societal progress, we endeavored to shape the discourse of our time.
