History
In August 1943, the magazine changed its name to Glamour, with the subtitle for the girl with the job. The magazine was published in a larger format than most of its contemporaries at the time. Charm, a Street & Smith magazine, started in 1941, later subtitled "the magazine for women who work", was folded into Glamour magazine in 1959.
Glamour targets women 18–49 (with the median age of 33.5) and reaches a subscription audience of 1,411,061 readers in the United States. Its circulation on newsstands was 986,447, making the total average paid circulation 2,397,508.
Glamour was the first women's magazine to feature an African-American cover girl when it included Katiti Kironde on the cover of its college issue in August 1968.
Since 1990, the magazine has held an annual "Women of the Year" awards ceremony.
On January 8, 2018, it was announced that Samantha Barry, previously the Head of Social Media and Emerging Media at CNN, would be the new Editor-in-Chief of Glamour.
In November 2018, Glamour announced that its print edition would cease with its January 2019 issue in order to focus on its digital presence.
