Not only does this book document the recent history of women’s magazines and their role in our changing ideology and identity, it also provides invaluable insight into the social history of Gen X women born during a time of radical changes when feminist ideology experienced one of its broadest shifts. Many astute lessons can be drawn from this work. Developed through articulate research, it has evolved into a thoughtfully constructed narrative with verve and pace, culminating in an insightful narrative for historians, industry professionals and magazine enthusiasts. Indeed, Sharon Maxwell-Magnus has successfully bridged that impossible gap by developing a text for academics and professionals, each of whom can draw on those valuable, real-world examples documented within these chapters.
