A popular American women's magazine of the nineteenth century, established as a cheaper alternative to Godey's. Contains stories, poetry, current events, music, fashion, cooking, book reviews, and other topics. Steel engravings and other illustrations provide views that go along with stories, show the latest fashions, or offer designs for craft projects. All issues of 1872 are bound into one book, with tables of contents for each six-month period. As always, a fun volume for browsing and for glimpses into 19th-century life, from the women's point of view.
