Helen Grund was one of Weimar Germany's most intriguing authors of fashion journalism and short prose. Her essays, published between 1925 and 1935 in the Frankfurter Zeitung and Die Dame , enriched in various ways the generic spectrum of the feuilleton and the travelogue ( Reisebericht ) and thus constructed a medium of expression frequently preferred by many women writers and reporters of that time. Grund's short prose could also serve as an example of the representation of a specifically feminine experience in the modern metropolis and can be read as a testimony of the German flâneuse .
