DESCRIPTORS *Females; *Periodicals; *Sex Role; Social Environment; Social History; Social Indicators; Social Influences; Sociocultural Patterns; 0*Traditionalism; *Trend Analysis IDENTIFIERS Journalism History; *Womens Magazines ABSTRACT Considering gender as an organizing force in the world of magazines is productive bothbecause it allows historians to organize nineteenth and twentieth century magazinesaccording to focus and because examining the relationship between gendertargeting and actual audience responsecan reveal the validity of magazine makers' gender-role assumptions and expectations.The two major themes that emerge from this consideration involvethe relationship between advertising and gender segmentation in magazineproduction and the relationship between gender-segmented magazineproduction and audience response. From the beginning ofmass circulation magazine production, the desire to reach large numbersof women across the nation led advertisers to support the creationof separate magazines for women. Magazine producers used the culturalconcept of separate spheres as the rationale for creating gender-targeted magazines. Men's magazines have beenmore numerous, more specifically focused, and less stable than women's magazinesbecause men were not recognized as major consumers until the 1940s, whenmagazines began to rely more heavily on advertising.
