This book explores representations of the domestic in Irish women's
magazines. Published in 1960s Ireland, during a period of
transformation, they served as modern manuals for navigating
everyday life. Traditional themes - dating, marriage, and
motherhood - dominated. But editors also introduced conflicting
voices to complicate the narrative. Readers were prompted to
reimagine their home life, and traditional values were carefully
subverted. The domestic was shown to be a negotiable concept in the
coverage of such issues as the body and reproductive rights,
working wives and equal pay. Dominant societal perceptions of women
were also challenged through the inclusion of those who were on the
margins - widows, unmarried mothers, and never-married women. This
book considers the motivations of editors, the role of readers, and
the influence of advertisers in shaping complex debates about women
in society in 1960s Ireland. -- .
