Margret Boveri

Margret Antonie Boveri (Würzburg, 14 August 1900 – Berlin, 6 July 1975)[1] was one of the best-known German journalists and writers of the post-World War II period.

[3] Margret developed an early interest in foreign cultures and politics after spending time with people from various countries at a zoology station in Naples.

She presented a negative view on Britain's international relations in her dissertation; she held this opinion throughout her journalistic career.

Her switch to pursuing journalism instead of diplomacy and politics, she claimed was due to Adolf Hitler's rise to power in January 1933.

[4] After the Frankfurter Zeitung was banned by the German government in 1943, Boveri returned to Berlin, where her apartment was destroyed in an air strike.

She also owned a personal car in which she travelled through parts of Europe that people, not only women, rarely had the opportunity to visit.
