International Women's Periodicals

Permanent URI for this community

The International Women's Periodicals is a collection of fifty-two magazine and journal publications dating from 1786 through 1940. Written primarily for women by both men and women, these periodicals offer a wide array of views about the roles of women in society and business. Suffrage and anti-suffrage writing, domesticity columns, and literary genres from poetry to serialized novels are included in these periodicals.

The periodicals gathered here have been selected for their rarity and value to students and scholars in women's studies, American studies, European studies, advertising, journalism, religion, fashion, and even culinary arts.

This collection is from the archives of Primary Source Microfilm and the original collection was edited by Kristin H. Gerhard, Associate Professor and Librarian, Iowa State University.
