Abstract: In 1867, on the Danish island of Bornholm, Cecilie Hertz began a memoir, starting with her childhood in the little town of Bogense in the 1830s. As she continued to write, her world changed. Her husband’s death plunged her into a deep life crisis. Yet, she emerged as an independent woman: a music teacher who founded a school for girls. Strongly determined to follow her own mind, she became a Unitarian and adopted a child.
  In its self-conscious processing of memory and experience, Memories of My Life is indebted to Søren Kierkegaard, yet its touch is personal, light and warm. Cecilie Hertz was a woman of sensitivity  and intelligence, living in an age of momentous change.
  Memories of My Life was partly published in Danish in 1930, but is now offered complete, in English. It is annotated by excerpts from other writings by Cecilie Hertz, and richly illustrated. A literary gem, this work also illuminates Danish provincial life, culture, childhood and education, and is relevant for many aspects of nineteenth-century women’s history.
