Women's magazines are a huge and influential industry. Because of their almost exclusive female readership, they hold huge potential for empowering women, though at the same time they appear to be peddling an oppressive image of woman as domestic goddess, fashion icon, and sex figure. A Magazine of Her Own?, Margaret Beetham's fascinating study of the development of women's magazines, reveals in fascinating detail just how they have shaped the images of women which prevail today.
