The essays examine both mainstream and independent publishing for women. They consider the history of publishing for women, the social contexts, and the ways in which the publications were used and understood by their readers over this long postwar period.The collection reflects in detail the important ways in which magazines and printed matter contributed to, challenged, or informed British women’s culture.
