The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine

The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine, title page, September 1861

The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine was a magazine published by Samuel Orchart Beeton from 1852[1] to 1879,[2] with a supplement written by his wife, Mrs. Beeton, between 1859 and 1861: these supplements were later collected as her Book of Household Management.[3] His intention was that it should "tend to the improvement of the intellect".[4] The magazine published articles on middle-class domestic issues, fashion and fiction.[5]

In 1867, Samuel Beeton expanded the correspondence section of the magazine. The contents of this "Conversazione", now including contributions by men, included material extolling the attractions of corsetry[6] and tight-lacing, cross-dressing[7] and flagellation;[8] extracts on the latter were republished in pornographic compilations such as The Birchen Bouquet.[9][10]
