Die Unzufriedene (German: The Discontented) was a weekly political magazine with a special reference to women. Its subtitle was unabhängige Wochenschrift für alle Frauen (German: independent weekly for all women)[1] and its motto was "Human progress lies in discontent!".[2] The magazine was in circulation between 1923 and 1944 in Vienna, Austria.
History and profile
[edit]Die Unzufriedene was founded by Max Winter and Paula Hons, and its first issue appeared on 22 September 1923.[1] The Social Democratic Party was its publisher.[3] Winter also edited the magazine until 1931 when Hons replaced him in the post.[1] The magazine came out weekly and attempted to balance between political enlightenment of women and reporting news about fashion and entertainment.[1] It adopted a social democratic political stance[2] and was a supporter of feminism.[4] The magazine asked children to report the abuse by their parents if they experience it.[4] It sold over 150,000 in the early 1930s.[1] In a study carried out in the same period it was found that 21,4% of 1,320 Viennese female factory workers read Die Unzufriedene.[2]
In February 1934 Die Unzufriedene had to temporarily cease publication.[1] On 1 July 1934 it resumed publication, but its editorial line changed radically.[1] In addition, its title was changed to Das kleine Frauenblatt with the original subtitle, unabhängige Wochenschrift für alle Frauen.[1] The magazine appeared with this title until 1944.[1]
