Career
Career
Bindschedler was trained as a teacher under the guidance of Joseph Viktor Widmann, who would later recommend her to teach at a private school in Zurich. She taught at that school for 24 years before leaving due to a heart condition. While at the school, she advanced from primary school teacher to secondary school teacher and also taught in Paris. She worked approximately 40 hours a week both in school and in additional lessons. After retiring, she moved to Augsburg, Germany, where she wrote her first book, "The Turnach children in summer." Bindschedler's books were very successful in Switzerland, tying Johanna Spyri's book Heidi in popularity there.
