'Woman' magazine- Problems page analysis

In the corner of the screen you can see the phrase "friend and counsellor to those with a personal problem" and this helps give the article a more informal feel, like you've got a trusted and lifelong friend to help you, comfort you, and support you through the troubled times, however there are many times in articles where this is not the case, and in the "Risk of Lost Love" article Evelyn blames the writer of the letter for not being a "warm and loving wife", and constantly berates her for not showing complete subservience to her man.


The picture of Evelyn is of a more mature lady, and this is a wise editorial move as if there was a picture of a lady in her mid 20s, no one would take the advice seriously as they would believe that she hasn't been experienced in troubles such as adultery and an over-worked, stressed out housewife. instead, a mature woman offers comfort as she would've had more experience or witnessed more troubles in marriages and has seen more attitudes change when it comes to more sensitive subjects, such as pre-marital sex and death.


The headline of the articles can often be misleading, with the Risk of Lost Love headline, you can imagine the article being about a couple having arguments and constantly finding each other bickering and fighting over the smallest of things, and that they hop to reconcile with the one they love, but the article actually deals with a woman who's fighting with another woman for their man. The woman would have been seen as desperate to keep her man, while it would've been seen as acceptable for the man to find as many partners as possible, even if they are married.


The "Sex and the young" article demonstrates some more propaganda driven and opinion based answer compared to many on the article.
