Glamour Magazine

Glamour magazine represents women as being positve but also negative. The representation of being traditional is portrayed in this front cover due to Rachel Mcadems appearance, she has bouncy curly hair and red lipstick which shows this generation of women still have not grown out of the traditional view they are perceived as. Even though we get the traditional stereotype of women displayed, we can also see the modernity of the next up coming generations being created.

The encoders (editors) chose to include this traditional representation because they want to show women how times haven't changed and they still need male dominance for their identity.  This is represented though the way it says "Men, Men, Men" which suggests that women are too vulnerable and naive alone and have a need to have a relationship before other important things in their lives such as careers and supporting themselves.

Rachel is the only person on the magazine front cover which suggests that the representation of women is that they are becoming independent as she is standing alone which implies that women are growing in power. Her stance is confident and she looks although the way she is posing is natural to her which represents how women of this day and age are becoming more comfortable with their appearance so they are choosing to behave in a more confident way.
