In the early 1980s, Anna Lowenstein became the editor.^{[citation needed]} Her contributions to the magazine included easy-to-read articles, which concerned serious topics, but were written in simple language suitable for beginning Esperanto learners. This continues to be a primary focus for the magazine.^[4]
