I admit that I haven’t read Gentlewoman magazine but I remember seeing this Winter 2012 issue with Angela Lansbury on the cover and being immediately enthralled. It probably had a lot to do with those now trendy glasses she was wearing. Overall I appreciate how Gentlewoman’s cover design is completely stripped down with one image, a color border, and a simple, black, lower-case font.

Some day, when I have a little downtime, I want to dig into the Gentlewoman library of 30+ biographies of interesting, influential, creative women.
