Material type:
TextPublisher: London : Bloomsbury, 2015Description: 272 pages : illustrations (black and white)Content type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781441177452 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Feminism | Women in mass mediaDDC classification: 305.4'2 Summary: 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.
