Biography
editBorn in Differdange, Kartheiser matriculated from the Lycée des jeunes filles in Luxembourg City. From 1971 to 1974, she studied English and American literature at the University of Kent in Canterbury. After working as a free-lance journalist, she taught Luxembourgish both at Sheffield University and at Luxembourg's Centre de langues until she retired in 2010. She drew on her language knowledge as a contributor to the French-Luxembourgish-English dictionary Parler luxembourgeois – Esou schwätze mir – Living Luxembourgish. She has been a regular contributor to several Luxembourg newspapers including Lëtzebuerger Journal, Tageblatt and Le Jeudi.[1]
Kartheiser's publications since 1978 have extended from short stories and essays to poetry, plays and literary criticism to criminal fiction and children's writing.[1]
Awards
editIn July 2010, Josiane Kartheiser received the Anne Beffort Prize from the City of Luxembourg for her contribution over 25 years to Luxembourg's literary scene at a time when the sector was dominated by men. The award reflected Kartheiser's concern for supporting the place of women in Luxembourg society.[3]
