Works about this Work

Let’s Talk It Over : Colloquial Language and Women’s Print Media Cultures in Australia, 1950–1966 Catherine Fisher , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Outskirts : Feminisms along the Edge , May vol. 36 no. 2017; 'This article examines how postwar Australian women’s magazines promoted a modern ideal of Australian femininity through the use of colloquial language. The postwar years saw a shift in media representations of femininity which enabled colloquial language to become associated with ideal Australian womanhood. Although women, especially working-class women, had been using slang in their day-to-day lives for a long time, a new ideal of postwar womanhood represented in middle-class women’s magazines brought this language into the public sphere and gave it respectability. Through an analysis of readers’ letters to New Idea this article shows that women’s magazines became a space within which readers could formulate a distinctive identity as modern middle-class women through their use of informalities and colloquialisms. The centrality of colloquial language to postwar women’s magazines was a significant shift from the interwar years, when slang use was actively discouraged and therefore absent from the content of women’s media, except as a trend to be denounced. This change demonstrates that language played a central role in media representations of Australian femininity in the 1950s and 1960s.' (Publication abstract)
