McCall's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McCall's was a monthly American women's magazine that enjoyed great popularity through much of the 20th century, peaking at a readership of six million in 1960. It was established as a small format magazine called The Queen in 1880. In 1897, it was renamed McCall's Magazine (later shortened to McCall's) and subsequently grew in size to become a large-format glossy. In 2001, it was renamed Rosie as a magazine publishing vehicle for the entertainer Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie ceased publication at the end of 2002, followed by a highly publicized legal battle between O'Donnell and her publisher Gruner + Jahr in 2003. Ultimately, the judge ruled against both sides and dismissed the case. Gruner + Jahr exited the U.S. magazine business in 2005 selling its women's magazine portfolio to the Meredith Corporation and its business magazine portfolio to Mansueto Ventures.
McCall's published much fiction, including such authors as Willa Cather, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gelett Burgess, Ray Bradbury, Jack Finney, Anne Tyler, Kurt Vonnegut, Tim O'Brien and Barbara Garson.
From 1921 to 1928, the editor was Harry Payne Burton. From 1928 to 1949, it was Otis L. Wiese.
