This periodical has appeared under several names: Journal des dames, Costumes parisiens, Fashion Journal or Ladies' Journal, Journal de la Msangre and finally Gazette des salons for its latest publications. The illustrations in the Journal contributed for the first time to spread the image of the female body in a free and concrete, non-idealized guise. The engravings represented women engaged in some activity, outside the home environment, sometimes even in unusual situations, while playing sports or driving cars. Women masters of themselves, of their lives, well dressed because they decided to be so and not because forced by society or men.
