Historical magazines 

Women’s magazines became very popular in the post-war period and, in the 1960s, sales of women’s magazines reached 12 million copies per week. 
While this was a period of great change and increased independence for women, many magazines and adverts continued to perpetuate narrow and stereotypical ideas about gender. 

The representations in women’s magazines should be analysed in relation to: 
• the genre (and ideologies of consumerism driven by the need to ‘deliver’ readers to advertisers) 
• the social, cultural and historical context (the feminist movement in particular) 
This short video about the history of Vogue provides some useful context for all of the women’s magazines:

• 1960s – cultural change, swinging 60s 
• 70s-80s – second wave feminism – women ‘having it all’

• You must complete all three sheets and make use of the suggestions buttons for added depth into your chosen pages.

Please indicate all pages you analysed clearly. 
Ten mins per advert page - 6 x 10 = 1 hour.
