Career

Gulowsen's first independent publication was the poetry collection Strengeleg, published under the pseudonym Waldemar Steen and consists of a number of love poems written from a traditionally male perspective, in which she celebrates female beauty. [3]

In 1882, she published Mindeblade over fru Johanne Reimers, a book about actress Johanne Regine Reimers. That same year, Gulowsen became the editor of the culture-oriented weekly magazine Figaro, which she led from 1882 to 1883. She was also a cultural writer for several of the daily newspapers at the time. [4]

Gulowsen embarked on several trips throughout Europe, which was reflected in her next releases. In 1884, she published Lidt om Recensionerne og Theatrene i Stockholm under the pseudonym Annar Mentz and in 1885 she released Alene med mange – reisebreve fra Frankrig, Italien og Schweitz, af den der har gjort turen.
