Le Journal des Demoiselles is a French press magazine, published in Paris from 1833 to 1922. Founded in February 1833 by Madame Jeanne-Justine FOUQUEAU de PUSSY (1786 - 1864) and installed at 14, rue Drouot in Paris, it appeared until 1864 in two editions, one in illustrated chamois and the other in chamois not illustrated. In 1865, it developed into four editions: chamois edition (monthly), purple edition, blue edition, green edition (bimonthly), to which an orange edition (weekly) was added from 1869. That year, the newspaper absorbs the "Petit Courier des Dames" or "Nouveau journal des modes, des théâtres, de la littérature et des arts". Some issues then appeared under the title "Journal des demoiselles et Petit courier des dames". In 1902, the magazine absorbed "La Jeune fille de Bruxelles" then in 1913 the Parisian newspaper "La Lecture". Intended for girls aged 14 to 18 from wealthy backgrounds, the "Journal des Demoiselles" devoted a limited part to education and science, to the benefit of literature, fashion and theatre. In 1863, a version for young children was launched by the THIERY family, owners of the newspaper: "La poupée modèle, journal des petites filles".
