The Creation of Chatelaine Magazine
Chatelaine magazine was first published in March 1928. It was created by the Maclean Hunter Publishing Company as a means to reach a different demographic than its other publications, Macleans and The Financial Post. Maclean Hunter Publishing Company solicited ideas from Canadian women in order to choose a name for the magazine, offering a $1000 prize for the winning entry. The contest, which drew 75,000 entries, encouraged a great deal of hype about the magazine's inauguration among Canadian women. A rancher's wife from Eburne, British Columbia won with her suggestion of "The Chatelaine." The title refers to the ring of keys which housewives long ago would use to get into every part of the house.

Famous quotes containing the words creation and/or magazine:
“For a woman to get a rewarding sense of total creation by way of the multiple monotonous chores that are her daily lot would be as irrational as for an assembly line worker to rejoice that he had created an automobile because he tightened a bolt.”
—Edith Mendel Stern (1901–1975)
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
