Cover of the March 1911 issue

McCall's was a monthly American women's magazine that enjoyed great popularity through much of the 20th century, peaking at a readership of six million in 1960. It was established as a small format magazine called The Queen in 1880. In 1897, it was renamed McCall's Magazine (later shortened to McCall's) and subsequently grew in size to become a large-format glossy. In 2001, it was renamed Rosie as a magazine publishing vehicle for the entertainer Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie ceased publication at the end of 2002, followed by a highly publicized legal battle between O'Donnell and her publisher Gruner + Jahr in 2003. Ultimately, the judge ruled against both sides and dismissed the case. Gruner + Jahr exited the U.S. magazine business in 2005 selling its women's magazine portfolio to the Meredith Corporation and its business magazine portfolio to Mansueto Ventures.
