Women, worldliness and culture in the 1940s: the example of the chronicle "What we are talking about" by Lucette Robert in The popular Magazine

At the turn of the twentieth century, the women's pages of large newspapers were major contributors to shaping the emergence of an educated feminine perspective on the world and culture. We extend our study of the women's pages in newspapers and women's magazines in the early decades of the twentieth century in an attempt to assess the evolution of the feminine view of the world and culture in magazines, through a close examination of the column << Ce dont on parle >> by Lucette Robert in La revue populaire (1944-47). When the publishing world underwent decisive changes during the Second World War, how were the process of modernizing society and media redistribution, in general, and the specific position held by magazines, in particular, transformed by that evolution? How is feminine social culture depicted in the immediate post-war period? Lucette Robert's column covers failures in the social, literary, and artistic spheres, while the columnist herself represents a new breed of educated woman and citizen of the world in a popular magazine, offering a prime example that allows us to establish links between various cultural spheres ( media and culture, at the confluence of popular and middlebrow culture) at a pivotal point in time.
