Woman Magazine 2

Audience Responses:

• Some women could take from this a type of freedom that they can make their kitchen their own and it is something they can be proud of 
• The articles are boring and the middle bottom article is quite condescending as it uses lexis such as "girl" which evokes a feeling of weakness
• Some women may not be interested in this at all whereas other may pay more attention in the kitchen
• There is a reminder here that you should get the "man in your life" to put it together, as though women need to marry or have a partner
• It's suggesting that you need to be smart about your money, which is a reminder that women don't earn a lot of money however it is being positive about it
• The DIY aspect is effective because it shows how women are being made to feel that they can actually do something with their lives 
• The photograph of a woman showing her son how to cook even though men aren't necessarily the cooks of the house
• The repeated use of women being in the kitchen cultivates the ideology of the fact that thats where women belong

Audience Respones:

• This article is heavily based on the way that women can please men
• cooking comes up again in this as though it is very important for women to be able to cook, so much so that even he believes his wife's cooking skills are important to mention
• He likes British women because they are "exotic", as though they are mysterious and different
• There is a lot of objectification in this article, for example he calls women "snow-capped volcanoes", as though he is almost criticising them to be pretty however horrible 
• The photos, although not attractive, make him look confident and powerful
• Grace Kelly looks quite vulnerable and almost shy/scared, looking up at the reader
• Hitchcock's monologue, suggests how he has power and importance
•
