Dagny was a women's magazine that existed between 1886 and 1913 in Stockholm, Sweden. The title of the magazine bore the statement Utgifvet af Fredrika-Bremer Förbundet (Swedish: published by the Fredrika Bremer Association), indicating its publisher.[1] It was subtitled as Tidskrift för sociala och litterära intressen (Swedish: Journal for social and literary interests).[2] It is the first Swedish magazine which covered social issues from women's perspective and assumed a leading position in the suffrage movement in Sweden from 1903.[3]

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] Its publisher was the Fredrika Bremer Association.[2][4] According to doctor Folke Henschen [sv], son of doctor Salomon Henschen, the periodical was named after his sister, translator Dagny Henschen [sv].[5] The magazine was headquartered in Stockholm and published on a weekly basis.[6] The editor of Dagny was Lotten Dahlgren, who held the post between 1891 and 1907.[7]

The page number of Dagny varied between 15 and 35 in the period 1900 to 1907 and was 12 from 1908 to 1913.[8] Its size was 22 cm (8.7 in) from 1900 to 1907 and 32 cm (13 in) from 1908 to 1913.[8]

Dagny folded in 1913 and was succeeded by Hertha, another women's magazine.[1] The full issues of Dagny have been archived in the Swedish National Archives and in the Gothenburg University Library.[1][9]
