History
On 8 December 1932, journalists Otto Williams and Audrey Argall launched the magazine,[3] with 7,000 copies on newsprint.[4] Williams took the role of managing director, and Argall was the first editor.[5] Due to financial difficulties, they were forced to sell the magazine after three months. Ellen Melville ran the magazine for a few weeks, before the magazine's printer, F. S. Proctor, and his wife, took over. Early in 1933, solicitor Vernon Dyson bought it, and his wife Hedda became the second editor.[6] At the end of the year it was sold again to Brett Print and Publishing Co., later New Zealand Newspapers, which also published the Auckland Star.[5] Hedda Dyson was retained as editor.
In the early 1980s, New Zealand Woman's Weekly's circulation peaked at around 250,000,[7] before the Australian magazines Woman's Day and New Idea entered the New Zealand market.[5]
In 2007, the magazine celebrated its 75th anniversary with guest Prime Minister Helen Clark.[8]
