This article provides an overview of the life and work of Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806) in the German Romantic period. Karoline von Günderrode is one of the most radical modern writers of her time as she expresses the experience of contingency, the signature of a modern age. The article also examines aspects of gendered censorship in her work, especially in her dramas. To understand the phenomenon, it is necessary to view censorship both from the outside and from within. Eighteenth-century drama and theatre were taboo fields for women. Günderrode reacted with a three-fold self-censorship: in her form of expression, in her choice ti write under two pseudonyms (Tian and Ion), and in her decision to leave a number of dramas unfinished. Karoline von Günderrode commited suicide at the age of 26, and it is possible to read even her suicide as an act of censorship in the context of the experience of contingency in the Romantic Period.
