McCall's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. 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 publishers in 2003. Ultimately, the judge ruled against both sides and dismissed the case.

It published much fiction, including such authors as Willa Cather, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gelett Burgess, Ray Bradbury, Jack Finney, Anne Tyler, Tim O'Brien
From 1921 to 1928, the editor was Harry Payne Burton. From 1928 to 1949, it was Otis L. Wiese.
