The American Jewess (1895–1899) described itself as "the only magazine in the world devoted to the interests of Jewish women." It was the first English-language periodical targeted to American Jewish women, covering an evocative range of topics that ranged from women's place in the synagogue to whether women should ride bicycles.[2] The magazine also served as the publicity arm for the newly founded National Council of Jewish Women.[3] The American Jewess was a periodical “published in Chicago and New York between 1895 and 1899” and represented the ideas found among liberal American Jews at the time.[4] It “was the first Jewish women's journal edited by women that were independent of any organizational or religious ties,” along with the “first English-language journal independently edited by women.”[5] The magazine printed stories about politics, famous individuals, aesthetics, and new books. There was also a section for children.[6] The magazine engrained its contents with Zionist views and feminist politics.[7] There were 46 issues published throughout four and a half years, with a circulation totaling approximately 31,000.[8]
