Al Hasnaa (Arabic: Belle) is an Arabic language women's magazine based in Beirut, Lebanon. The magazine has been in circulation since 1909.

History and profile

Al Hasnaa was launched by Georges Nicholas Baz in 1909.[1] [2] Baz was also the founding editor-in-chief of the magazine which was based in Beirut.[2] [3] The constitutional reforms in the Ottoman Empire in 1908 made it possible to establish the magazine providing a flexible atmosphere for the publications.[4]

One of the early contributors was Esther Azhari Moyal, a Lebanese Jewish journalist, feminist, and translator.[2] [5] In 1968 Alia Al Solh, a daughter of Riad Al Solh, was appointed editor-in-chief of the magazine.[6] Alawia Sobh served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine who was appointed to the post in 1986.[7]
