Early life and educationSusanna Winkworth was born in London, the eldest daughter of silk merchant Henry Winkworth and his wife Susanna Dickenson.[2] She was educated at home; among her tutors were prominent English Unitarians James Martineau and William Gaskell.[3] Publications by Susanna WinkworthWinkworth translated the memoir and essays of German theologian Barthold Georg Niebuhr, in Life and Letters (1851 and 1852).[4] She followed with more German religious literature, with translations of the Theologia Germanica (1854)[5] and twenty-five sermons of medieval mystic Johannes Tauler (1858).[6] She completed an unfinished biography of Martin Luther by Julius Hare (1855), and collaborated with her sister on Signs of the Times (1856). Another translation, German Love, from the Papers of an Alien (1858) was based on the writings of Max Müller. Her last notable publications were a translation of Bunsen's God in History (1868-1870), and an 1883 memorial edition of her sister's writings, after Catherine Winkworth's death in 1878.[7] Philanthropic workWinkworth took an interest in urban life in Bristol, while living with her family at Clifton. She invested in housing at Dowry Square, built more units for low-income renters at Jacob's Well, and managed a sanitary mission. Susanna Winkworth also took a turn as governor of The Red Maids' School, and served on the board of governors of The Cheltenham Ladies' College.[2] She died in 1884, age 64, and her remains were buried in the St. John's churchyard in Clifton. In the year 2000 a blue plaque was installed, marking the home of Catherine and Susanna Winkworth in Cornwallis Crescent, Bristol.[8] References1. ^Margaret Josephine Shaen, [https://archive.org/details/memorialsoftwosi00shaerich Memorial of Two Sisters, Susanna and Catherine Winkworth] (Longmans, Green 1908). 2. ^1 Susan Drain, "Catherine and Susanna Winkworth" in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (Oxford University Press 2004). 3. ^Susanne Stark, [https://books.google.com/books?id=601RPGkVmqwC&lpg=PA41&ots=NQ_hf9AGxI&dq=Susanna%20Winkworth&pg=PA20#v=onepage&q=Susanna%20Winkworth&f=false "Behind Inverted Commas": Translation and Anglo-German Cultural Relations in the Nineteenth Century] (Multilingual Matters 1999): 20. {{ISBN|9781853593758}} 4. ^Susanna Winkworth, The Life and Letters of Barthold George Niebuhr, and Selections from his Minor Writings (Chapman and Hall 1852). 5. ^Susanna Winkworth, [https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100166447 Theologia germanica: which setteth forth many fair lineaments of divine truth, and saith very lofty and lovely things touching a perfect life] (W.
