Description
Ladies Home Journal is a monthly American women's magazine first published by the Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia in 1883.
Besides short and serial fictional stories, the magazine is devoted to any issues related to home life. It contains articles dealing with cultural topics, such as art, literature, and music, as well as fashion, craft, and cooking advice for women. The magazine is often described as "the monthly Bible of the American home" and promotes traditional values as well as new ways of defining womanhood.
The financial success of Ladies Home Journal is partly due to its great amount of highly paid advertisements that are interwoven with the reading matter.
It ceases publication in 2016.
