History
Jean Prouvost created the first issue in 1937, which was distributed each Wednesday. In 1942, German occupation authorities in France stopped the distribution of most magazines, and Marie Claire was one of them. The magazine was not redistributed until 1954. At this time, it became a monthly publication. In 1976, Prouvost retired and his daughter Évelyne took over the magazine and added L'Oréal Group to the company.Marie Claire US edition was started by the Hearst Corporation
