Femina is a Danish language weekly magazine for women published by Aller Media in Copenhagen, Denmark. The magazine also has a Swedish edition.
History and profile
Femina began in its current form in 1952 and is a continuation of illustrated fashion journal Nordisk Mønster Tidende (1874–1952),[1] making it the oldest weekly magazine in Denmark.
Femina is part of Aller Media and is published by Aller Press AS.[2] The magazine has its headquarters in Copenhagen.[3] Camilla Lindemann has been editor since March 2005.[4] It positions itself towards modern women and covers fashion, food, interior design, health and beauty, psychology and culture. A Swedish edition is also produced.[4]
The 29 July 1903 edition caused a scandal when it printed "bh" as an abbreviation of "brystholder" (brassiere) for the first time.[5]
During the late 1950s, Femina featured articles on women's sport and introduced its readers to both traditional and lesser known sports.[6] In October 1959, the magazine gave its name to BK Femina, a women's football club from Slagelse.[6] They supplied kit and boots for the players and provided sponsorship and coverage to the team which became unofficial World Champions in 1970.[6][7]
