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, son of doctor Salomon Henschen, the periodical was named after his sister, translator Dagny Henschen.[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]
