What Was Mademoiselle Magazine?
Mademoiselle was a popular magazine in the United States. It was first created in 1935 by a company called Street and Smith. The magazine was made for young women and girls.
More Than Just Stories
In its early years, Mademoiselle was special. It was known for printing short stories by famous writers. Some of these writers included Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and James Baldwin. This helped new authors share their work with many readers.
A Focus on Fashion
Later, in the 1960s, the magazine changed its main focus. Mademoiselle started to focus more on clothing and fashion. It became a guide for what to wear and how to look stylish.
The Magazine's End
Over time, it became harder for Mademoiselle to keep up with what readers wanted. The people who made the magazine found it difficult to make it appeal to enough people. So, Mademoiselle stopped printing new issues. The very last magazine came out in November 2001. After that, some of its ideas and staff moved to another magazine called Glamour.
