==History and profile== Vanitha was launched in 1975 as a monthly magazine and became a fortnightly in 1987. The magazine was founded by Annamma Mathew, wife of K.M. Mathew, and is known for her contributions to social service, cookery, journalism, and literature. Vanitha is published in Malayalam and introduced a Hindi edition in 1997. Although its name translates to "woman" in Sanskrit, it includes news and views and other articles on a variety of topics, and is not strictly a women's magazine.
