As a theologian, feminist, lesbian and single mother, she did not conform to the expectations of the state and society. She wrote for an underground feminist magazine and organised women’s festivals, which became a key catalyst for the emergence of a GDR-wide lesbian movement.
As a result, she was under surveillance by the Stasi for many years.
