The Lady's Museum Explained

The Lady's Museum was a monthly magazine published in the United Kingdom between 1760 and 1761.

The magazine was edited and largely—if not entirely—written by British novelist and translator Charlotte Lennox.^[1] Like most eighteenth-century periodicals, The Lady’s Museum presented itself as a means of educating and informing its readers. In this, it resembles an earlier women’s periodical, The Female Spectator (1744-6), by Eliza Haywood.^[2]
