WOMENS MAGAZINES
OF THE 1950`s
another "content over style" web page from Steve Johnson Cyberheritage
or "how to " with Bronco loo roll!!
or how to avoid being a "wet blanket" to your hubby!
...or women and "their man!"...or even how to be a "wise Mummy!"
This web page looks at women's magazines and some of the adverts they contained in the 1950`s. The adverts that I have picked have to a large extent been governed by the position of them to the spine of the magazine and the actual physical condition of the magazine. Many interesting adverts could not be used as to scan them would harm the publication which in all cases is now half a century old.
That said I hope you find this selection of great interest. Looking at them will make you realise how thankfully times have changed for women...it is vital not to slip back. Women in the last century and early 20th paid a heavy price for common suffrage, while women who went to the factories in the wartime gave birth to girls who would take this struggle on through the sixties and seventies to achieve what has been seen to be the almost 99.9% equality with men, certainly not 100%; at least in the western world.
