The magazine was established in 1924,[1] and its first issue appeared in 1925.[2][3] Its original title was Het Modeblad.[3] It was published by n.v. Het Rijk der Vrouw which was part of a company owned by Jan Meuwissen.[3] The focus of the magazine was on fashion for women and girls.[3] The magazine was renamed as Het Rijk der Vrouw in 1931 after it was redesigned.[3]

Femmes d'Aujourd'hui was its sister publication, and both magazines were acquired by the publishing company J. Hoste in 1975.[3] Later, Het Rijk der Vrouw became part of Almaspar.[4] Mediaxis bought the magazine in 1990.[3]
