Mosaic (women's magazine)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The monthly magazine Mosaik was published in 1947 by Annedore Leber, initially at Arani-Verlag by Arno Scholz , and later by her own Mosaik-Verlag . Personal disagreements between Scholz and Leber finally led to the abandonment of the magazine and resulted in a court settlement in 1950. The last edition appeared in July 1949.

The publisher Arno Scholz had already succeeded in 1946 in obtaining the license for Telegraf , a daily newspaper close to the SPD in the British sector of Berlin. License holders were Annedore Leber and Paul Löbe , two recognized resistance fighters against the Nazi regime . The book and magazine publisher Arani published next to Telegraf u. a. also mosaic , until Annedore Leber founded her own publishing house of the same name. The magazine was peppered with patterns, recipes and practical tips for everyday women's life in the post-war period. Between the patterns, however, the magazine was also a political monthly with a clear impetus : Education for Democracy. With the magazine Mosaik, Leber wanted to encourage women in particular to get involved in building a new society and to take on political responsibility.

The original editions are now available in digitized form from the private Julius and Annedore Leber Archives .
