Description
Seventeen, launched by media mogul Walter Annenberg in September 1944, succeeded with a formula of fashion and romance to appeal to teenage girls. Seventeen gave a start to star-crossed poet and writer Sylvia Plath, publishing her first short story, “And Summer Will Not Come Again,” in August 1950. Circulation exceeded two million in 2017, when it changed its focus to a digital market.
