The Ottoman-Turkish magazine Sevimli Ay (Ottoman-Turkish:سويملى آى; DMG: Sevīmlī Ay; English: "Lovely Moon") was published in Istanbul from 1926 to 1927 and was the temporary title of the magazine Resimli Ay (1924-1938). The editorial management consisted of the journalists Sabiha Sertel and her husband Zekeriya Sertel, also general director for press of the new republic and founders of the predecessor Resimli Ay. Influenced by their study visit to the United States, together with other influential intellectuals they wanted to contribute to improving of the political and economic living conditions - especially of Turkish woman - and to the intellectual education of the Turkish population. The magazine was thus a publication organ for the socialist and avant-garde requirements of the 1920s.
