Are New! and Peg's Paper both women's magazines?
Peg's Paper Peg's Paper was a weekly British women's magazine, published from 1919 to 1940 in about 1,100 issues. It was one of the first women's magazines aimed at the working-class female reader, and mainly consisted of fictional romance across class lines. It also had a regular feature of photostories of movie stars, as well as other features including fortune-telling and a letters page. Its advertising concentrated on looks. It was the parent paper of "Peg's Companion", which launched in 1921 and had two fictional stories in each issue. Richard Hoggart considered "Peg's Paper" an example of working-class art whose "overriding interest is in the close detail of the human condition", using it as an example of such in his book "The Uses of Literacy".
Nova (UK magazine) Nova, published from March 1965 to October 1975, was a thoughtful glossy title that created its own unique niche in the British consumer magazine market at the very moment when women's hemlines rose six inches above the knee. It has been described as "a politically radical, beautifully designed, intellectual women's magazine. In 1965 "Nova" discussed sex and the Pill, and epitomised the sophistication of London with its bold type and white space." For its day, Nova's agenda of journalistically taboo subjects included contraception, abortion, cancer, race, homosexuality, divorce and royal affairs, invariably boosted by stylish and provocative cover images, making it a rarity among magazines. It was Nova's courageous second editor, Dennis Hackett, together with visionary art director Harri Peccinotti, who swiftly established their magazine as an influential must-read for the movers and shakers of Swinging London, with men as well as the original target audience of women becoming devotees of its heady mixture of social issues and cutting-edge fashion and modern lifestyle features.
