How does the front cover of the set edition of Woman reflect the socio-historical context in which it was made? Make reference to the front cover and one other article from the set edition. Yes you can look at your notes, and the toolkit.








































Plan for mini mock:

- feminist theory; lisbet van zoomen the idea that gender is constructed through media language; that women are used as an aspirational figure to look at which reinforces how the magazine's target audience is heterosexual females. 

- Cultivation theory; George Gerbner, the theory that after time if the producer's ideology is repeated, it will influence the audience in believing it's true, can be seen in the front cover through the stereotypical representation of women being housewives.

- Hitchcock's interview all about women, constantly shows him objectifying women - 'they're like snow-capped volcanoes'.

- Front cover use rhetorical question as a proairetic code suggesting you'll find the answer through reading on, uses direct mode of address
