Summary/Abstract: The Dolgozó Nő [Working Woman] was the most important Hungarian monthlymagazine for women from the Communist Romania, published in Cluj-Napoca between 1945 and 1989, which focused onfemale rights, the women’s condition in the modern society; moreover, the magazine also covered health, beauty, housework,literature and fashion topics. The article is an analysis of the covers of the magazine, of the photos and graphics published onthe front pages. The main focus is on the context, taking into account the historical background and the infl uence of censorship.The covers of the magazine bear the traces of the socio-historical change: in the fi rst period we see the military woman, in themild period we can see the intellectual, the mother in the center of her family, while in the late, very cruel years we can seeonly the portraits of Nicolae Ceaușescu. By presenting the propagandistic messages of this process the author tries to fi nd themagazine’s place in the history of press and photography.
