Teresa was a Spanish language monthly women's magazine which was in circulation in the period 1954–1977 in Madrid, Spain. Its subtitle was Revista para todas las mujeres (Magazine For All Women in English).[1] The title of the magazine was a reference to Saint Teresa of Avila.[2] It was one of the official media outlets of Sección Femenina, the women's branch of the Falange political party.
History and profile[]
Teresa was first published in January 1954.[2] The magazine adopted a conservative political stance, but it was less conservative than Medina and which had been the official organs of the Sección Femenina in the 1940s.[3] It was published by Servicio de Prensa y Propaganda, a publishing company of Sección Femenina, on a monthly basis.[2]
Target audience of Teresa was young and university-aged women.[4] The magazine featured articles dealing with fashion, politics, science and cinema.[1] Its fashion content mostly addressed the comfortables clothes for working women.[4] The magazine presented a model for ideal Spanish women which was significantly different from the earlier models promoted by previous women's magazines of the Sección Femenina.[3] For Teresa ideal women were those with moral, intellectual and elegant qualities.[1]
Until 1975 the price of Teresa was 25 Ptas which was much cheaper than those of other magazines.[5] The magazine folded in 1977.[5]
