Gertraut Chales de Beaulieu
From Mark Twain in the German Language Press
Gertraut Chales de Beaulieu (1847-1902) worked as a translator and correspondent for various national and international newspapers and used her travels through Southern Europe as material for numerous travel sketches and books. She also published several humorous texts that established her reputation as a humorist. She edited the illustrated magazine Das humoristische Deutschland from 1889 to 1893. Brümmer assumes that she was the first woman to hold such a position in a humor publication. From 1892, she was also involved in the editing of Fisimatenten, a similar magazine.
