Annenkova-Bernár was born in between 1859 and 1865. She studied in a Saint Petersburg's Mariinskaya gymnasium, [1] later trained as an actress and obtained her first acting work in the provinces in 1880. [2] Eventually she took a place at a Moscow Goreva's theatre where her skills were appreciated. [3]
She took to writing whilst she was living with Modest Pisarev. He was an actor involved with running Anna Brenko's theatre in 1880. [4] Her lover's influence was useful in obtaining contacts in the publishing world. It was alleged that he was an unattributed co-author because he was involved in strong editing of her work. [2]
