Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. The Girl's Own Paper was an illustrated weekly paper which, from 1880 to 1956, could be found in most British homes. More for young women than 'girls', it combined a mixture of stories and educational articles, musical scores and poetry, and items about cooking, sewing and housekeeping. It evolved to include career advice and articles about science, as well as pieces about a woman's responsibilities. It became a significant cultural touchstone, helping to document and shape British society. At the end of every year, the issues of the paper were gathered together in the Girl's Own Annual.
