real statement of intent

 The title of  my magazine cover is called 'voice' . The storyline will consist a two page spread sheet on women during the 1950s and the challenges they faced. The first page will show a high quality photo of the lady , the accompanying text will be her explaining how she lived and their everyday challenges . I will use a clear bolded headline to show the readers what they are reading about and to give that sophisticated feel.

In the 1950s, women were largely confined to traditional roles centred around homemaking, limited career opportunities, and restricted social freedoms. The pervasive cultural norms and legal barriers of that era often silenced women’s voices and constrained their ambitions. The second page will break down the specific part of how time and how women were treated lower than men . The text will make the readers think on how everything has changed and the community being more diverse . 

The life of the average married woman in the 1950s and 60s was very different from that of today’s woman. This was the age of respectability and conformity. Very few women worked after getting married ; they stayed at home to raise the children and keep house. The man was considered the head of the household in all things; mortgages, legal documents, bank accounts. Only the family allowance was paid directly to the mother. Should a woman find herself in a loveless or violent marriage, she was trapped; she had no money of her own and no career. Dinner would be on the table ready and waiting for the man of the house on his return from work. Housework and the care of children was considered woman’s work so the man would expect the house to be clean and tidy, meal ready, children fed and washed and his clothes all ready for the next day at work.
