The Ladies' Repository was a monthly magazine for women in the United States, published from 1841 to 1876. The magazine was founded by Methodist publishing house Lane & Scott and was aimed primarily at female members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The magazine's content included a mix of fiction, poetry, essays, and religious writings, as well as articles on fashion and home and family life. The Ladies' Repository was known for publishing stories with strong moral messages and for promoting women's education and social activism.

Over the years, the magazine featured work by a number of prominent women writers of the era, including Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Louisa May Alcott. It also included contributions from many lesser-known writers and encouraged women to submit their work for publication.

In addition to its literary content, The Ladies' Repository was also known for promoting social and political causes related to women's rights. The magazine frequently advocated for women's suffrage and other progressive causes, and it was an early supporter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union.

Although The Ladies' Repository stopped publication in 1876, it remains an important artifact of 19th-century American culture and an important document in the history of women's writing and activism in the United States.{{Categories}}
