Abstract
This chapter explores magazines issued between November 1918 and November 1919. Its focus is Woman’s Weekly’s approach to negotiating the immediate aftermath of the First World War: what, it asks, is distinctively lower middle class about this approach? After establishing the publication’s status in the post-war magazine market, the chapter addresses the following concerns: the war’s impact on gender norms, the status of working women, housework and housewifery, and Woman’s Weekly’s complicated relationship with leisure-class culture and the middlebrow. Addressed again in later chapters, these concerns are touchstones by which Woman’s Weekly and its target audience are designated lower middle class. Comparisons to works by authors including Dot Allan, Arthur Conan Doyle, E. M. Delafield, T. S. Eliot, and Daphne Du Maurier position the magazine within the wider literary field. Offering readers consolation, escapism, and personal conduct guidance, romance is a framework for understanding their distinctively lower-middle-class anxieties and aspirations.
