Gabriele Tergit

Gabriele Tergit (pseudonym for Elise Reifenberg née Hirschmann) (4 March 1894 – 25 July 1982) was a German-born British writer and journalist.

[2] She interrupted her first attempt at entering the newspaper industry because the press was generally conceived to be no place for young women of upper-class backgrounds.

[5] Articles of her criticizing injustice or reactionary judges were also printed in the journal Die Weltbühne, which was published by Carl von Ossietzky.

[2] Due to her critical assessment of processes involving Nazis,[6] a horde of SA-men tried to force their way into her apartment in March 1933.

[2] She had already started her historical novel Effingers which deals with several generations of a German-Jewish family and which is sometimes dubbed the "Jewish Buddenbrooks".
