Abstract

I spent the summer of 2002 scrolling through microfilm, cataloguing everything written by women between 1921 and 1926 in the Neue Freie Presse, one of the most influential Viennese newspapers then. On the front page of the morning edition, a line divided the column titled “Feuilleton” from the rest of the paper. Various writers wrote feuilletons, and the name “Bertha Pauli” appeared regularly. Her sketches of women were intriguing because the subject matter was unique. However, when I looked for more information about her, I could not find much.
