Chatelaine is an English-language Canadian magazine of women's lifestyles. Both Chatelaine and its French-language version, Châtelaine, are published monthly by Rogers Media, Inc., a division of Rogers Communications, Inc. It was first published in March 1928 by Maclean Publishing.

The magazine and website cover a variety of women's interests, from fashion, beauty and decor, to current affairs, health and food.

From 1957 to 1977, Chatelaine's editor was Doris Anderson, under whose tenure the magazine was a leader in Canadian coverage of women's issues, including the rise of feminism as a social phenomenon. Other recent editors include Mildred Istona and Rona Maynard.

The magazine celebrated its 80th anniversary in May 2008.

[edit] Woman of the Year

In the past, the magazine has named a Woman of the Year, honouring a Canadian woman for her achievements in the previous year. Honorees have included Prime Minister Kim Campbell, athlete Chantal Petitclerc, pop singer k.d. lang and Jane Doe, a Toronto woman who waged a successful court battle against the Toronto Police Service after alleging that in 1986 the police force had failed to issue warnings about the Balcony Rapist, who subsequently raped her.[2] One of lang's most famous songs, "Miss Chatelaine", is about her selection as the magazine's Woman of the Year.
