Die Frau (German magazine)
The woman was the title of a German women's magazine published from 1893 to 1944. It was published by the Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine until 1933 and by Gertrud Bäumer and Helene Lange until 1944 . The magazine was initially published monthly, then quarterly, and from 1941 to 1943 every two months.
The magazine was founded in 1893 by the educationalist and women's rights activist Helene Lange. In addition to its function as a mouthpiece for the women's movement, the magazine also wanted to address the broad mass of bourgeois women: with the means of a family paper , with fictional texts, everyday topics such as housekeeping and upbringing, they should be won over to the goals of the women's movement.
Accordingly, around half of the newspaper, at least in the early years, consisted of fiction. The most important contributions to prose and poetry during these years came from Emmi Lewald , Carl Hermann Busse , Maria Janitschek and Lou Andreas-Salomé . Richard Zoozmann , Julius Lohmeyer , Ludwig Jacobowski and Frida Soyaux wrote only poetry . Also represented exclusively with prose were Emma Simon , Frieda von Bülow , Jonas Lie and the West Prussian writer Elisabeth Siewert , who until 1900 was one of the magazine's most productive authors with up to four articles a year.
