Anis Al-Jalis

Anis Al-Jalis (meaning the Sociable Companion in English) was a monthly women's magazine published in Alexandria from 1898 to 1907.[1] Its founder and editor was Alexandra Avierino, a Lebanese woman.[1][2] Though some contributors were women, most were men.[3] The magazine mostly covered articles on home economics, child-rearing practices, fashion and home decoration.[4] At the initial phase Anis Al-Jalis targeted bourgeois women, but later it addressed peasant women.[5]
