Cosmopolitan Cover Analysis of the Representation of Women

Cosmopolitan is a female orientated magazine running from the 1970's. The topics feature include: sex, fashion, beauty, relationships and careers. 

The magazine cover featured is of Lara Bingle, an Australian model and media personality. 

This magazine promotes female strength as well as the liberty and freedom of women to make choices in their life in opposition to a time where a women would be subservient to a man. Furthermore, many headings for Cosmopolitan magazine feature the subject of sex showing that women, just as much as men, may chase sexual pleasure.

There is a promotion of 'feeling happy in your bikini' which shows that women can and likely wear a bikini because they want to, not because they want male attention which further promotes liberties and freedom of women.
