Medieval Women's Magazines

The Toronto Star published an interesting article last week on the discovery of what looks to be one of the earliest examples of a woman's magazine. No glossy images of waif-life models in heavy makeup in the Middle Ages, apparently.

Head here for the full article. A nod is due to Slate's new Double X website (http://http://www.doublex.com/) for the lead.

    Fascinating! Thanks for posting the link. I missed this story, because instead of reading the local papers, I read the New York Times! I'm a bad Canadian.
