Image:Ladies home journal 1906 12 a0.jpg Ladies Home Journal is a magazine first published February 16, 1883 as a women's supplement to the Tribune and Farmer. The following year it became an independent publication. It was owned by Cyrus H. Curtis and edited by his wife, Louisa Knapp until she was replaced by Edward William Bok (alternate spelling is Buck) in 1889. Until 1919 he published the work of social reformers such as Jane Addams. The ground-breaking magazine was published when Cyrus Curtis ran short of material for his farming publications. Wilson Rawls was one of the many who published stories here after the saturday evening post denied the story to be published.

In 1986, the Ladies Home Journal was acquired by the Meredith Corporation. Template:Mag-stub
