Women's Magazine Archives

"Topics covered these collections include family life, home economics, health, careers, fashion, culture, and many more; this material serves multiple research areas, from gender studies, social history, and the arts, through to education, politics, and marketing/media history.

The magazines are all scanned from cover to cover in high-resolution color, ensuring that the original print artefacts are faithfully reproduced and that valuable non-article items, such as advertisements, are included. Detailed article-level indexing, with document feature flags, enables efficient searching and navigation of this content." - from the publisher, Proquest. 

 

 

The search is very flexible yet allows focusing the search on various formats, dates, and article/advertisement description points. WomensMagazineArchive Search example

 

 

The keyword "cigarettes" is limited to cartoon.  The search has two results.

The database has images of the magazine as the original work appeared.  This is helpful for women's studies, history, gender studies, and marketing.
