Mary von Bothmer was born in London in 1842. Her father was John Young, a British merchant. In 1856, she married German diplomat Major Count Hippolyt von Bothmer (1812-1891), with whom she had two children, Alfred and Mabel. She died in 1901.[1]
Likely Von Bothmer's most popular work, German Home Life was a collection of essays on German domestic culture originally published in Fraser's Magazine.
