What messages about female identity are encoded in to women magazine

What impact could this have on the target audience (and who is the target audience)

What functions does the womens magazine serve

What potential advantages are there for reinforcing hegemonic notions of gender in a primarily female reader base

1. One message that the magazine has about women is they should care beauty. One of the double page spreads show makeup which promotes it for the women to buy. It also shows different type of styles which they could try. In some of the other pictures there are women looking a certain why to present looking good which will come across to the audience as a way of looking, which will target the female audience who read it.. 
Another message the the magazine presents to women is the idea of being a housewive. This is presented by the page including the kitchen. It displays a clean kitchen which could interest female audiences as inspiration as to how their kitchen should look. On the page there is also deals and discounts which will appeal for eomen to buy in order to cook and clean in the kitchen. 

2. The impact this may have on the target audience, being female readers, to buy or adjust how thye live thier life and overall lifestyle to match or meet the opinions from men. They will go out and change their styles, equipment or beliefs on certain things in order to fit in with the times. The magazine will influence their ways of thinking due to what they see in the pictures of women or what they read in the contents.
