Femina is a Danish language weekly magazine for women published by Aller Media in Copenhagen, Denmark. The magazine has also a Swedish edition.

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. The magazine positions itself towards modern women and covers fashion, food, interior design, health and beauty, psychology and culture. A Swedish edition is also produced.[2]

Swedish edition from January 1890

The 29 July 1903 edition caused a scandal when it printed "bh" as an abbreviation of "brystholder" (brassiere) for the first time.[3] In October 1959, the magazine gave its name to BK Femina, a women's football club from Slagelse. They supplied kit and boots for the players and provided sponsorship and coverage to the team who became unofficial World Champions in 1970.[4]

Femina is part of Aller Media and is published by Aller Press AS.[5] The magazine has its headquarters in Copenhagen.[6] Camilla Lindemann has been editor since March 2005.[2]
