The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine


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

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 and tight-lacing, cross-dressing and flagellation; extracts on the latter were republished in pornographic compilations such as The Birchen Bouquet.
