Life Gál married Béla Kun in 1913, against her family's wishes. Their daughter Ágnes Kun was born two years later. After the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, the family left Hungary, moving first to Austria, then Italy, and finally the Soviet Union. There she worked at International Red Aid and the Marx–Engels–Lenin Institute. During the Great Purge she was imprisoned, while her husband was executed. She returned to Hungary in 1959 and published a memoir a decade later.
