Typical of the late Georgian and Regency magazines in Britain were The Lady’s Magazine (1770), a sixpenny monthly that, along with its literary contributions and fashion notes, gave away embroidery patterns and sheet music The Lady’s Monthly Museum (1798), which had a half-yearly “Cabinet of Fashion” illustrated by coloured engravings, the first to appear in a women’s periodical and La Belle Assemblée (1806), which encouraged its readers to unburden themselves in its correspondence columns.

After about 1880, magazines began to widen their horizons again. In the 18th century, when women were expected to participate in social and political life, those magazines aimed primarily at women were relatively robust and stimulating in content in the 19th, when domesticity became the ideal, they were inclined to be insipid and humourless. Women’s magazines frequently reflect the changing view of women’s role in society.
