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]

In 2001, the magazine had a circulation of 87,000 copies in Denmark. [8] The circulation of the Danish version of Femina was 89,680 copies during the second half of 2003 [9] and 90,000 copies for 2003 as a whole. [10] The circulation of the magazine was 52,000 copies in 2006. [2] It rose to 68,900 copies during the last six months of 2007. [11]

In the second half of 2011, Femina had an average circulation of 54,117 copies per issue. [12] In 2013, the magazine had a circulation of 50,000 copies in Denmark. [13] In 2018, the circulation was down to 38,000 copies in Denmark.
