Library for our women
The library for our women was an irregularly published series of fiction books by Hermann Costenoble's (1826–1901) publishing house in Jena for women and daughters, which, according to contemporary advertising , should be particularly distinguished by its excellent content, elegant furnishings and moderate price . It is a collection of small prosaic and poetic writings. Each volume was available in paperback or bound from the publisher's bookstore.
The first volume, with which the book series in octave format was opened in 1877 , was the story Rosy by Marie Franck . It was followed by Volume 2/3 of the title The Legacy of the Second Woman. A family story of Eufemia Countess von Adlersfeld-Ballestrem . Volume 4 was titled Sleeping Beauty by Ludwig Habicht and the fifth volume appeared around 1879 and was called Das Pfarrhaus zu Wudnik. An old-fashioned war and love story by Edmund Hoefer , who also acted as editor at the end of the series. The sixth volume contained the novella Gazela by the Danish writer Carit Etlar , translated by Pauline Schanz . The last and seventh volume was published in 1890, Zauberwasser. A story from the Banat by Nataly von Eschstruth .
No further volumes were published in the late 19th century. Two volumes were later published in Edition Corvey as part of the Belser series German-language women's literature of the 18th and 19th centuries as a microfiche edition.
