women's magazines
Lifestyle publications targeted
Women's magazines are periodicals targeting female readers, typically covering fashion, beauty, relationships, health, home, and lifestyle topics.
The category ranges from glossy fashion publications like *Vogue* to advice-oriented titles like *Cosmopolitan* to domestic-focused ones like *Good Housekeeping*.
The term sometimes carries dismissive connotations, implying frivolous or superficial content: She reads more than just women's magazines.
