British books and magazines such as Frankly Feminine and Woman’s Illustrated were joined in the 1960s by Irish magazines such as Woman’s Way. These magazines presented both domestic and personal advice, as well as guides on which electrical appliances to purchase and recipes making use of electric cookers and refrigerators. They were also read for their stories and craft patterns, and were often loaned amongst groups of friends.
