:''For other uses, see Red Book.''
'''Redbook''' is an American magazine designed to provide humor and some informational tidbits for a primarily female audience.
''Redbook'' was first published in May 1903. Its first editor, from 1903-1906, was Trumbull White.
''Redbook's articles are primarily targeted towards married women. The magazine features stories about women dealing with modern hardships, aspiring for intellectual growth, and encouraging other women to work together for humanitarian causes. Critics of the magazine feel that the magazine is contradictory and sometimes doesn't cover relevant aspects of a controversial issue.
The magazine profiles successful women, such as Christa Miller, to provide inspirational testimonies and advice on life.
The magazine has been lampooned by comedians for some of its self-proclaimed "intellectual" information. The best-known example is featured in the episode "Death of a Propane Salesman" of ''King of the Hill''. In the episode, Peggy Hill attempts to comfort Luanne Platter by lending a sympathetic ear. During their conversation, Peggy Hill says "''Redbook'' says that losing a boyfriend is the fourth most painful loss, right between grandmother and penis removal." Fans of the magazine claimed that the aforementioned list was an ironic joke where frivolous information was labelled as "intellectual".
