The Lady's Magazine was published monthly from 1770 until 1832. "By any measure, the Lady's Magazine was a huge success: it was one of the longest-lived periodicals of the eighteenth century, and the era's most successful women's magazine by a considerable margin." (Quoted from Jennie Batchelor's The Lady's Magazine (1770-1832) and the Making of Literary History, Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press; Critical Studies in Romanticism, 2022.)
