Gabriele Tergit Book order

Gabriele Tergit pioneered as a female court reporter for major Berlin newspapers before achieving overnight fame for her socially critical novel set in the late Weimar Republic. Though her literary career in Germany was cut short by the rise of Hitler, and she was largely forgotten after the war, Tergit continued to write throughout her exile. For the final 25 years of her life, she also served diligently as the honorary secretary for the London PEN Centre of expatriate German-speaking authors. Renewed interest in women writers in the late 1970s led to a resurgence in attention for Tergit’s works, with many being republished.
