WHAT DOES PLAYGIRL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Playgirl

Playgirl is an American magazine that features general interest articles, lifestyle and celebrity news, in addition to semi-nude or fully nude men. In the 1970s and 1980s the magazine printed monthly and was marketed mainly to women. The magazine was founded in 1973 by Douglas Lambert during the height of the feminist movement as a response to erotic men's magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse that featured similar photos of women. In 1977 Lambert sold Playgirl to Ira Ritter who took over as Publisher. Under Ritter’s leadership, Playgirl had an annual readership of over 20 million. It was the sixth most profitable newsstand magazine for women and 16th most profitable of all magazines in the 1970s. The magazine also covered issues like abortion, equal rights, and interspersing sexy shots of men and played a pivotal role in the sexual revolution for women. From March 2009 to February 2010, it appeared only online. The magazine returned to print with its March 2010 issue.
