She was a journalist for Der Spiegel for 16 years[7] and chief correspondent for Munich and then Berlin, before working as a freelance journalist for Emma,[8][9]radio and the feminist press[.[10]
Behr was also co-founder of the Association of Single Mothers and Fathers (originally called the Association of Single Mothers (Verbandes alleinerziehender Mütter und Väter)), of which she was president from 1977 to 1981[1]. [11]From 1984 until her death, she lived in Ruhstorf an der Rott in Lower Bavaria, at the Barhof near Hader, which she also transformed into a memorial to the 90 children of forced labourers murdered there in 1944-1945.
