ESSAY ON: Women's Magazines And Color

Number of Pages 17

This research paper: 17 pages in length. Women's magazines often are dominated by white women and rarely illustrate images of women of color, an aspect of printed media that research shows forever contributes to a social divide among women from different ethnic background. The magazines that tend to exclude such women include Vogue and Cosmopolitan; magazines that do cater to the minorities tend to opt for women who are very light in skin complexion, a point that has also caused a divide within the black community. When one ponders the reasons why the exclusion of women from different ethnic backgrounds exists in contemporary popular culture, it is important to analyze such elements as the influence of advertising, the power of patriarchal control and the overwhelming sense of whiteness that continues to perpetuate in modern-day women's magazines. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
