Front page of The Woman’s Outlook
The Woman’s Outlook was a Filipino woman’s magazine founded in 1922 and published on a monthly basis in Manila. The articles that can be found in this magazine are predominantly in English, but there is a Spanish section titled “Sección Castellana”, edited by Pura Villanueva de Kalaw, Teodoro M. Kalaw’s wife. Another important female figure that contributed to this magazine was the suffragist Rosa Sevilla de Alvero, director of the Instituto de Mujeres of Manila, who figured as a stockholder.As it can be seen from the articles mentioned on the front-page, the magazine was devoted to topics of the home and of social progress. Some of the articles published in this volume had titles such as “Mixing Housework with Pleasure” or “The Problems of Babies and Housework”. In addition to these articles, the magazine also published literary works. Titles such as a “The Wife Tamer” and “The Old Maid” can be found in this particular issue. These are short stories written by Gregorio Joson and Mariano R. de Peralta, respectively.
