Brief history
Jean Prouvost created the first issue in 1937, which was distributed each Wednesday. Newsstands were crowded at all times, and the magazine became extremely popular at a rapid pace. This all would come to a halt.
In 1942, Germany stopped the distribution of magazines, and Marie Claire was one of them. The magazine was not redistributed until 1954. At this time, it became a monthly publication versus a weekly one. In 1976, Prouvost retired and his daughter Evelyne took over the magazine and added L'Oreal Group to the company.
It is now part of Hearst Corporation, based in New York City. However, Hearst has branch offices in France, Italy, and several divisions of the United States such as Detroit, the West Coast, New England, the Midwest, the Southwest, and the Southeast.
