History and profile

edit

Resimli Perşembe was first published on 28 May 1925, and the founders were Sabiha and Zekeriya Sertel.[3] It was published by Resimli Ay press weekly on Thursdays.[3] Soon after the start of the magazine Zekeriya Sertel was arrested and tried in the Independence Courts which resulted in his three-year imprisonment.[3] Therefore the magazine, which covered mostly literary and women-related articles, began to be managed by his wife Sabiha.[3] Some of the magazine's contributors included Ahmed Rasim, Nahid Sırrı Örik, Münire Handan, Vasfi Samim and Vâlâ Nurettin.[4] Sabiha Sertel had an advice column entitled Cici Anne (Turkish: Sugar Mama) in the magazine from its start in 1925 to its closure in 1929.[5]

Resimli Perşembe produced a total of 199 issues before it ceased publication on 14 March 1929.[3]
