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]
