"By the fin de siecle women journalists and critics had moved into the cultural forefront, Adelheide Popp (1869-1939), the editor of the Arbeiter-innenzeitung (1892), the women's paper of the Social Democratic Party, for example. Together Rosa Mayreder (1858-1938), Auguste Fickert (1855-1910), and Marie Lang (1855-1934) founded the journal Dokumente der Frauen (1899) as a forum for women's concerns. Mayreder, who examined the concept of femininity and decried the culturally and economically marginal position of women in her essays Kritik der Weiblichkeit (1905, translated as A Survey of the Woman Problem) and her critical response to Otto Weininger, Gerschlecht und Kultur (1923, Sex and Culture), belonged to the radical wing of the feminist movement and was a member of the Erster Allegemeiner Osterreichischer Frauenverein. After the first world war she took an active part in the Peace Movement. Also her friend Bertha Zuckerkandl Szeps (1863-1945), a maverick who wrote about architecture, the arts, and international affairs as well as society gossip, was a well-known journalist. Another high profile journalist and photographer was Alice Schalek (ps. Paul Michaely, 1874-1956). Best-known and satirized by Karl Kraus in the vast drama for her activities as a war reporter during the First World War, her works include travel literature and novels."
