From wartime labour to Web 3.0, from recipes to reproductive rights: this book reveals the full range of topics covered in women's periodicals. Many areas of feminist print activism come into view for the first time, and the essays demonstrate the crucial role of print culture in the lives of women readers. Invaluable.

A range of approaches, including interview, textual analysis and industry commentary are employed in order to demonstrate the variety of ways in which the impact of postwar print media may be understood.
