Forster, Laurel, 1962-
Magazine movements : women's culture, feminisms and media form / Laurel Forster. - 272 pages : illustrations (black and white)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
All women's magazines are not the same: content, outlook, and format combine to shape publications quite distinctively. While magazines in general have long been understood as a significant force in women's lives, many critiques have limited themselves to discussions of mainstream printed publications that engage with narrowly stereotypical representations of femininity. Looking at a range of women's magazines and magazine programmes, this book not only extends our definition of a magazine, but most importantly, unearths the connections between women's cultures, specific magazines and the implied reader.
