In Slovenian literary history, Fanny Haussmann (1818–1853) is credited with the title of the supposedly first Slovenian poet. The romantic appearance of the poet, who last lived in the Novo Celje Manor near Žalec, a tall figure always dressed in black, is shrouded in a veil of mystery. Her unfulfilled longing and the economic failure of her father, who owned the manor, marked her fatally. The poet's character is intertwined with the demands of the era in which she lived (the pre-March era), and new standards for quality poetry were also being established. This was also a time when the work of women in the community was the goal of most national awakening activists. She published nine poems in Slovene, and one manuscript has been preserved, which is in German. This biography on the occasion of the bicentenary of the poet's birth brings everything about the uncertain authorship of the poems signed with her name, and even more.
