Everyone here has made points. When you press back into any time, there's bound to be things we find appalling. In fifty years from now, it will be the same.
For a long time, women were expected to take on certain roles and, even if they could find a job to mind themselves, it would often come with less pay or more stigma, forcing them to be dependent on marriage... and, you know, some people really do just want to fall in love. But you mix all that and it makes finding a partner suddenly the most important and stressful thing in the world, whether you want it or not. To the point, people would make it out like life or death and go to really crazy lengths.
Many years after that, especially following the major wars, there were more freedoms but people hadn't quite broken out of cultural norm yet, and, in some cases, didn't want to because so much of their world had already changed. And so, you get magazines like this. Some bought in and some didn't, just like any era really.
