She was born Minka Czóbel Balogfalvi in 1855, in Anarcs, Hungary, to a large landowner family.
She began writing with the encouragement of the painter László Mednyánszky, who recommended her first works to Mór Jókai for comment. Since she received extremely favorable reviews, her first book of poems, Nyírfa Lombok, was published in 1890. She was one of the first to write free verse in Hungary and adopted the style of the French decadents. Endre Ady could never forgive the fact that a woman preceded him in his style, so he commented on her in a petty and disparaging way: "I don't understand her works and I can't be enthusiastic about them".
Western society also reluctantly accepted her poems, they found it difficult to identify with an exceptionally talented female poet.
Minka Czóbel was also considered a language genius; she spoke French, English and German at a native level. Many translations are associated with her name; she was the first to translate Verlaine's poems into Hungarian, as well as The Tragedy of Man and several of Petőfi's poems into German, just to name a few.
