Born in Australia, she married a German aristocrat, and her earliest works are set in Germany. Her first marriage made her '''Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin''' and her second '''Elizabeth Russell, Countess Russell'''. After her first husband's death, she had a three-year affair with the writer [[H. G. Wells]], then later married [[Frank Russell, 2nd Earl Russell|Frank Russell]], elder brother of the [[Nobel Prize]]-winner and philosopher [[Bertrand Russell]].
