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 (\u003ci\u003eCooperative Correspondence Club \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eHousewife) \u003c\/i\u003eand magazine programmes (\u003ci\u003eWoman's Hour\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHouseparty\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eMagazine Movements\u003c\/i\u003e not only extends our definition of a magazine, but most importantly, unearths the connections between women's cultures, specific magazines and the implied reader. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author first outlines the existing field of magazine studies, and analyzes the methodologies employed in accessing and assessing the cultural competence of magazines. Each chapter then provides a case study of a different kind of magazine: different in media form or style of presentation or audience connection, or all three. Forster not only extends our definition of a magazine, but most importantly, unearths the connections between women's cultures, specific magazines and the implied reader. In this way, fresh insights are provided into the long-standing importance of the magazine to the variety of feminisms on offer in Britain, from the mid twentieth century to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Forster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441177450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441177452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 5.99w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016","brand":"Laurel Forster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579736735999,"sku":"9781441177452","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e832cab6-5ec5-47f3-9f63-7fa011175dbc.jpg?v=1763876296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magazine-movements-laurel-forster-9781441177452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
