image:lady'ss.jpg

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.
