1956 – Charm Magazine

Vacation time for mid-century working women

This blog is all about women’s magazines from the mid-century and this blog post is about my favorite mid-century magazine titled Charm.

Charm Magazine – The Magazine for Women who Work

The theme of Charm’s May 1956 issue was “Two Weeks with Pay”. It outlined a variety of places to vacation, how to get there, and what to wear along the way.

And here’s a peek at content from their article titled, “The Look of a Good Traveler”.

Tailored for Travel in a wonderfully wiltless fabric; a double-breasted beige jacket fitted over a sleeveless black sheath.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
