Enrica von Handel-Mazzetti (1871–1955) belongs to the most important Austrian female writers at the beginning of the 20th century.

Handel-Mazzetti looks back into the past of Steyr, particularly at its religious conflicts and fights in the 17th century. The book offers a biography of Enrica von Handel-Mazzetti presenting a lot of new aspects of her extraordinary life as well as copious extracts and summaries of her Steyr-novels.
