History and profile

Femina began in its current form in 1952 and is a continuation of illustrated fashion journal Nordisk Mønster Tidende (1874–1952),^[1] making it the oldest weekly magazine in Denmark.

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.

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]
