History

La Semaine de Suzette (Suzette's Week) started in 1905[1] as a magazine aimed at conservative, Catholic French girls, published by Gautier & Languereau. The founder was Henri Gautier. It contained stories and comics, but also patterns for doll clothes, e.g. for the magazine's mascot Bleuette.[2] Readers were mainly Catholic middle-class girls aged between 8 and 18.[1]

La Semaine de Suzette was published weekly on Thursdays.[1] The first issue appeared on 2 February 1905, and the last on 25 August 1960, with a break during World War II from 6 June 1940 until 30 May 1946.[3]

Many of the text stories which appeared in La Semaine de Suzette were later republished in the Bibliothèque de Suzette (Suzette's Library), which existed between 1919 and 1965.[3]
