Women's magazines

Japanese: 女性雑誌 - じょせいざっし

A magazine published for female readers. Many can be categorized according to the age or life stage of the reader, such as for schoolgirls, unmarried women, or housewives, but recently, magazines aimed at different lifestyles, such as working women or independent-minded women, have also appeared. However, they all have in common that they do not directly address issues that have traditionally been considered "men's worlds," such as politics, economics, science, and professional life, but rather focus on areas that have traditionally been considered "women's worlds," such as beauty, fashion, romance, marriage, and family life.

Japanese:

女性を読者層に想定して発行される雑誌。女学生向け，未婚女性向け，主婦向けなど，読者の年齢やライフステージによって分類されうるものが多いが，最近では，有職女性向け，自立志向型女性向けなど，読者のライフスタイルのちがいに応じた雑誌も出てきている。ただ，伝統的に〈男の世界〉とみなされてきた政治，経済，科学，職業生活などに正面から言及することはなく，あくまでも美容，ファッション，恋愛，結婚，家庭生活といった，伝統的に〈女の世界〉とされてきた領域を守備範囲とする点でほぼ共通している。
