Thea von Harbou

    December 27, 1888 – July 1, 1954

    Thea von Harbou was a formidable German author and screenwriter whose work was characterized by strong female characters who often served as saviors to the men in their lives. Despite her success in the predominantly male film industry of her time, she was not a feminist, yet her writing explored complex female roles and their influence on the world. Her stylistic mastery and ability to craft compelling narratives secured her place among the leading literary voices of her era.
