The Lady's Magazine or Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex, Appropriated Solely to Their Use and Amusement, was a fashion magazine produced every month from 1770 until 1837 and cost six pence per copy. It was started in August 1770 by bookseller John Coote and publisher John Wheble. (This was by no means the first women's magazine, as Lady's Mercury had been published in 1693.) From 1827 until 1836, its editor was Sarah Hale.
