Women's magazine
Lady's Magazine
The Lady's Magazine or Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex, Appropriated Solely to Their Use and Amusement, was a fashion magazine produced every month from 1770 until 1837 and cost six pence per copy. It was started in August 1770 by bookseller John Coote and publisher John Wheble. (This was by no means the first women's magazine, as Lady's Mercury had been published in 1693.) From 1827 until 1836, its editor was Sarah Hale. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady%27s_Magazine [Jul 2005]

- Vogue - 12 issues/12 months [magazine, Amazon US]
Vogue lives by the maxim that you can't be too rich or too thin--or have too many ad pages. But the glossy spreads of broomstick-thin supermodels draped in Prada and Chanel, and the endless pages of ads for the finest clothes, accessories, and makeup the beauty industry has to offer, help make it the leading magazine of women's style. Fashion is the main event, but every issue attends society parties, goes inside the home of a celebrity designer, and travels to an exotic resort or vacation spot. Like Playboy, Vogue is a magazine you can claim to read because the articles are good. Famously, the September fall fashion issue can easily top 700 pages. --Katherine Koberg for Amazon.com
