After studying philosophy, philology, and art history, she worked as an editor and lecturer in Prague and, as of 1918, in Germany. There, she continued to photograph and teach, publishing a book, A Hundred Years of Photography, 1839-1939 (Harmondsworth, 1939) and directing a microfilm/reprography service based at the London Science Museum Library, for the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux (Aslib). Immediately after the war she travelled to the Near and Middle East for projects for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. She retired in 1959 to Zollikon, Switzerland.
The couple separated in 1929 and when the National Socialist German Workers Party rose to power in 1933 both emigrated, separately, to London.
