History

La Semaine de Suzette (Suzette's Week) started in 1905 as a magazine aimed at conservative, Catholic French girls, published by Gautier & Languereau. It contained stories and comics, but also patterns for doll clothes, e.g. for the magazine's mascotte Bleuette.[1]

The first issue appeared on February 2, 1905, and the last on August 25, 1960, with a break during World War II from June 6, 1940 until May 30, 1946.[2]

Many of the text stories which appeared in La Semaine de Suzette were later republished in the Bibliothèque de Suzette (Suzette's Library), which existed between 1919 and 1965.[2]
