Working Woman was an American magazine that ceased publication in September 2001 after 25 years.[1]

History and profile

Working Woman was first published in November 1976.[2][3] The magazine was acquired by Lang Communications in 1978.[4][5] It was published on a monthly basis.[4] The magazine and its sister publication Working Mother were sold to MacDonald led by Jay MacDonald in 1996.[6][7] The magazine were later published by Delia Passi Smalter.[8] As its name implies, the magazine targeted working women, unlike traditional women's magazines which focused on women's roles as wives and mothers, or on fashion.[9]
