The Young Woman's Journal was an official publication ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) for theYoung Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association (YLMIA), then the LDS Church's organization for adolescent females.

The Young Woman's Journal was founded in 1889 bySusa Young Gates, a volunteer worker within the YLMIA, with its first issue dated October of that year.^[1][2]Anstis Elmina Shepard Taylor, the YLMIA general president at the time, oversaw the first publication of the journal.^[2] The periodical was unique for the time period, because of its target of a "young woman" audience.^[3]

Throughout its history, the periodical was edited by the general leadership board of the YLMIA under the direction of the organization's general presidency. It was published monthly until 1929, when the magazine was absorbed by theImprovement Era, an official publication of the YLMIA and the church'sequivalent organization for male adolescents. TheImprovement Era then served both organizations from that time forward.

The journal included messages from the MIA conferences, scriptural quotations, a plethora of short stories, recipes, meeting schedules, and pieces about morals, clothing, etc. Unlike current publications of the LDS Church,The Young Woman's Journal was subsidized by advertisements carried in the magazine.
