Helen Zimmern (25 March 1846 – 11 January 1934) was a German-British writer and translator. ==Biography==
Zimmern and her parents emigrated in 1850 to Britain, where her father became a Nottingham lace merchant. She was naturalized upon coming of age. She was the sister of the suffragist Alice Zimmern and a cousin of the political scientist Alfred Eckhard Zimmern. Her first appearance in print was a story for ''Once a Week'', and she was soon writing for the ''Argosy'' and other magazines. A series of children's stories, first published 1869-71 in ''Good Words for the Young'', were reprinted as ''Stories in Precious Stones'' (1873) and followed by another collection, ''Told by the Waves''. A series of tales from the Edda appeared in ''Old Merry's Monthly'' in 1872, before being similarly republished. In 1873 Zimmern began writing critical articles, particularly on German literature, for the ''Examiner''. She would also write for ''Fraser's Magazine'', ''Blackwood's Magazine'', the ''Athenaeum'', the ''Spectator'', ''St James's'', ''Pall Mall Magazine'', the ''World of Art'', the Italian ''Rassegna Settimanale'' and various German papers. Through her advocacy and translations, Zimmern made European culture - whether that of Germany, or, increasingly, Italy - accessible to English speakers. She lectured on Italian art in Britain and Germany, and translated Italian drama, fiction and history. 'Jewish Home Life,' an 1881 ''Fraser's'' contribution, criticized Germans for their anti-Semitism and urged Jewish assimilation. She befriended Friedrich Nietzsche, two of whose books she would later translate, in Switzerland in the mid-1880s. By the end of the decade she had settled in Florence, where she was associated with the ''Corriere della Sera'' and also edited the ''Florence Gazette''. In later life she defended Italian values against what she saw as the threat of German expansionism.
