 From 1907 to 1932, she was a regular contributor to the Frankfurter Zeitung. During this time, she reviewed new publications in literature and philosophy, often with a particular focus on the German-Jewish experience. From 1912 to 1915, she lived with her family in Rüschlikon, near Zurich. The family returned to Germany in 1915, first living in Frankfurt and then, beginning in 1919, living on a farm close to the Swiss border in Säckingen on the Rhine. Although inspired by the vision of Gustav Landauer and the life reform movement to move to the countryside to get away from the postwar chaos in Frankfurt, the long hours of work on the farm left Susman only with the nights for reading (Susman 1964: 96).
