Peg's Paper
Peg's Paper was a weekly British women's magazine, published from 1919 to 1940 in about 1,100 issues.[1][2] It was one of the first women's magazines aimed at the working-class female reader, and mainly consisted of fictional romance across class lines.[3][1][4] It also had a regular feature of photostories of movie stars, as well as other features including fortune-telling and a letters page.[3] Its advertising concentrated on looks.[3] It was the parent paper of Peg's Companion, which launched in 1921 and had two fictional stories in each issue.[3] Richard Hoggart considered Peg's Paper an example of working-class art whose "overriding interest is in the close detail of the human condition", using it as an example of such in his book The Uses of Literacy.[5]
