All you wanna know about me!

I was born as Karen Danielsen on 16 September 1885 in Blankenese, Germany. My father, Berndt Wackels Danielsen (1836–1910), was a ship's captain, a traditional devout with a patriarchal thinking.My mother, Clotilde, née van Ronzelen (1853–1911), known as "Sonni", was very different, being much more open-minded than my father. My elder brother was also named Berndt, and I cared for him deeply. I also had four elder half-siblings from my father's previous marriage. My father was "a cruel disciplinary figure," holding his son Berndt in higher regard than me. Instead of being offended or feeling indignation over my perceptions of him, he brought me gifts from far-away countries. From roughly the age of nine I changed my perspective on life, becoming ambitious and somewhat rebellious. I felt that I could not become pretty and instead decided to vest my energies into my intellectual qualities — despite the fact that I was seen by most as pretty. At this time I developed a crush on my older brother, who became embarrassed by my attentions — soon pushing me away. I suffered the first of several bouts of depression. I died of cancer on December 4th, 1952, in New York city.
