One of the “Seven Sisters” of women’s magazines. TIL that only three of the seven have survived: Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens, and Woman’s Day. McCalls (renamed Rosie, for Rosie O’Donnell, from 2000) stopped publication in 2002. I’m old enough to remember their sewing patterns.

Also published in the US as _Heavy Metal_; excellent monthly periodicals with fantastic sci-fi and fantasy stories and mind-blowing artwork. Both magazines ceased monthly production, and cancellation by the end of the 80s. Both have been revived sporatically, most recently as online and digital releases.
