This new book is an historical examination of how popular magazines
portrayed wage-earning women during the critical interwar years,
1918-1941. Although women had been entering the workplace for some
time, their contributions to World War I, the passage of women's
suffrage, postwar business expansion, and changing social mores put
the cultural conversation over women's employment into high gear.
Meanwhile, magazines were becoming more visual, more commercial,
more affordable-and more influential. Young women looked to
magazines for advice that they had previously gotten at home, while
ads shifted their focus from information about products to social
tableaux centred on idealised gender roles. Examining how magazines
covered employed women during this critical period, this book
identifies a number of emerging stereotypes and argues that women
were reinscribed into a domestic discourse. Moreover, those
stereotypes are echoed today in print media, television, film and
the Internet.
