The women's movement was a magazine of the radical wing of the bourgeois women's movement and existed from 1895 to 1919. It is considered the first radical feminist German-language magazine and the central magazine of the first wave of the German women's movement.
history
In 1895, The Women's Movement was founded by Minna Cauer , with the support of Lily von Gizycki, later known as the socialist Lily Braun . After Lily von Gizycki withdrew from the editorial office and became involved in the Social Democratic Party , Anita Augspurg took over her position. From 1899 onwards, the women's movement was expanded by the addition of Parliamentary Affairs and Legislation edited by Augspurg, and from 1907 the journal Zeitschrift für Frauenstimmrecht , the German Association for Women's Suffrage , was also included.
The magazine existed for 24 years and formed a platform for all the important issues of radical feminist politics of the time and was particularly committed to democratically oriented voting rights for women . In it texts and a. published by Lida Gustava Heymann , Maria Lischnewska , Marie-Elisabeth Lüders , Anna Pappritz , Marie Raschke , Jeanette Schwerin and Helene Stöcker . Because women were allowed to exercise the right to vote in the German Reich for the first time in 1919 , the main objective of the magazine was believed to have been achieved. The last edition appeared on December 15, 1919. In retrospect, Cauer declares the old-style women's movement to be over now that the right to vote, admission to studies and previously developed professions has been achieved. Now she wants to devote herself to problems of a more general nature, for which a women's paper is not the right sounding board
research
The women's movement is considered to be the central journal of the German women's movement. In 1989 the archive of the German women's movement published an index volume, which, in addition to an alphabetical listing of all articles, made the contents of the magazine accessible with 46 subject-oriented keywords. For research purposes, it was possible to orientate yourself about the contents of all volumes and the requirement of individual articles without having to have the journal itself.
