The Weekly: A Lively and Nostalgic Celebration of Australia Through 50 Years of Its Most Popular Magazine

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Since its launch in 1933, The Australian Women's Weekly has become a model and mirror of Australian life, reflecting the lives of the high and the humble, in times of depression and prosperity, war and peace. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, it has flourished through waves of social change.

Accustomed to criticism, praise and satire, it has come to live with and laugh at its image as an Australian. Drawing richly on material selected from 2600 magazine issues, this book traces half a century of Australian fashion, interests and attitudes. (back cover)
