WOMEN AND ELECTIONS IN THE „PRZYJACIÓŁKA” [BEST FRIEND] MAGAZINE (1956–1976)

Summary/Abstract: „Przyjaciółka” – a weekly addressed to rural women, housewives with low education – was the most widely read periodical in the period of the Polish People’s Republic. The article aims to answer the question to what extent one of the most popular women’s magazines of that period took up the issue of elections and the participation and interest of women in politics. The analysis was subjected to press releases appearing about two months before the parliamentary and national councils elections, as well as about two weeks after them, as the subject of politics was addressed mainly in the electoral period. The research includes content published in the years 1956–1976 using the press content analysis method (according to the methodology of Walery Pisarek), the qualitative and quantitative methods.
