Example of a censored Arbeiterinnen-Zeitung , the white spaces of which were filled out by the publishers (issue of 22 August 1916)

“To our readers! The proposed editorial for this issue has been confiscated in its entirety. To prevent delays to the publication of the newspaper, we had no choice but to waive the possibility of providing another editorial – which would perhaps again have fallen victim to the censor. Comrades! We assure you that your newspaper will not fail to give expression to what corresponds to the desires of all women, but there are powers against which ours are insufficient. Be all the more loyal to your newspaper. One day, finally, it will have to change.”
