Document 16.2 The Delineator, 1900

<em>The Delineator</em>, 1900

By 1900 The Delineator had become one of America’s foremost women’s magazines. On the surface, it appeared to cater to traditional gender norms, each month featuring stories on fashion, sewing, leisure, and home design. But the editors of The Delineator also called for women’s rights and broader social reform. In 1907, for example, editor Theodore Dreiser organized a successful outreach program to find homes for abandoned and orphaned children.
