 It partially reflects Arendt's own view of herself as a German-Jewish woman driven out of her own culture into a stateless existence, leading to the description "biography as autobiography".In what is arguably her most influential work, "The Human Condition" (1958), Arendt differentiates political and social concepts, labor and work, and various forms of actions; she then explores the implications of those distinctions.Her theory of political action, corresponding to the existence of a public realm, is extensively developed in this work.
