This collection highlights the differing, and at times contradictory, images and understandings of women in a range of magazines, from the 19th century to the present. "A part of Routledge's Research in Gender and History series, Women in Magazines is "not simply about women's magazines" but rather about "the position of women in magazines" (p. 1). An anthology of women's depictions in-as well as contributions to- magazines, the volume contains essential readings for media and feminist scholars as well ashistorians. In the classroom, the collection could provide fodder for discussions in upperlevel undergraduate or graduate level courses in magazine media, journalism, and women and gender studies. Individual chapters would also be at home as required reading for a variety of history courses in either upper-level undergraduate or graduate programs." - Catherine Staub, Drake University
