History and profile

Dagny was launched in 1886 as a successor to another women's magazine, Tidskrift för hemmet, which was published from 1859 to 1885.[1][2][3] The publisher was the Fredrika Bremer Association.[2] According to doctor Folke Henschen, son of doctor Salomon Henschen, the periodical was named after his sister, translator Dagny Henschen.[4] The magazine was headquartered in Stockholm and published on a weekly basis.[5] The editor of Dagny was Lotten Dahlgren, who held the post between 1891 and 1907.[6]

The page number of the magazine varied between 15 and 35 in the period 1900 to 1907 and was 12 from 1908 to 1913.[7] Its size was 22 cm in 1900–1907 and 32 cm in 1908–1913.[7]

Dagny folded in 1913 and was succeeded by Hertha, another women's magazine.[1] The full issues of Dagny have been archived in the Swedish National Archives and in the Gothenburg University Library.[1][8]
