During the autumn of 1916 she had nearly finished the work on her novel and she exchanged lengthy letters about it with Lawrence, who in return asked her for advice with his newest novel, Women in Love.
Because Anderson explored the new sexual freedom in the novel, it was attacked in an American crusade against "dirty books", which also objected to D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love.
She was named after Ursula Brangwen, in the 1915 novel The Rainbow and the 1920 novel Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence.
Ursula's character draws on Lawrence's wife Frieda, and Gudrun on Katherine Mansfield, while Rupert Birken has elements of Lawrence himself, and Gerald Crich of Mansfield's husband, John Middleton Murry.

Gudrun begins an intense friendship with Loerke, a physically puny but emotionally commanding artist from Dresden.
