DESCRIPTION
Mademoiselle was a lifestyle magazine published monthly by Street & Smith Publications, and later by Condé Nast. Launched in 1935, it published original articles and columns aimed at women, before ceasing publication in 2001 and incorporated into the magazine Glamour.
Each issue featured articles, essays, fashion news reports, and regular columns, as well as interviews with high profile individuals. Published content covered a number of topics, including health and fitness, food, travel, relationships, and current art, music, and books.
During its tenure, the magazine also became known for publishing short stories by a number of distinguished authors, including Truman Capote, Joyce Carol Oates, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, Flannery O'Connor, Paul Bowles, Jane Bowles, Jane Smiley, Mary Gordon, Paul Theroux, Sue Miller, Barbara Kingsolver, Perri Klass, Mona Simpson, Alice Munro, Harold Brodkey, Pam Houston, Jean Stafford, and Susan Minot. In 1952, Sylvia Plath's (1932–1963) short story Sunday at the Mintons won first prize and $500, and was featured in the magazine. Plath was subsequently awarded a position as a guest editor during the summer of 1953, with her experiences providing the basis for her only novel, The Bell Jar.
The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 1935 and 2001.
