Why subscribe to Australian Women's Weekly? |
While traveling in the "Land Downunder" I discovered Australian Women's Weekly, actually a "monthly" publication, at newstands and truly enjoyed the in-depth articles that seemed to go far beyond the beaten paths of personality, home/life skills, or current events coverage of so many mags for the female reader. On our 2006 trip, I encountered a moving piece on 9/11 filtered through the eyes of an Australian journalist working in NYC at the time. In 2007, I was struck by an article on the severity of the multi-year drought faced by everyday Australians in many parts of the country, its effects on their way of life, and their ability to adapt and cope with those effects. Though I might not have been familiar with all of the celebrity personalities about whom I read in its pages, I found it easy to connect with their stories of searching for meaning in their lives, family relationships, and personal development. Some of those covered last fall/winter, however, were very familiar, Olivia Newton John, Terri, wife of Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin, Sheryl Crow. The special "Pink" supplement on Breast Cancer attached to the October issue was a gem of information and survivors' personal stories.
When I discovered I could get it delivered to my mailbox here in the U.S. every month, I didn't hesitate to subscribe. The quality of the publication justifies its cost for a person who's grown to appreciate Australians for their "can do" attitude and their unique points of view on life. |

Intellectual Women Still Want to Cook and Garden! |
This is a wonderful magazine and well worth the increased price we Americans have to pay. It's intelligent, relevant, and a joy to receive every month (yes, every month, in spite of its name). It's like a blend of Vanity Fair and Good Housekeeping - that is, if Good Housekeeping were remotely smart, which it's not, god bless it.
Each issue is full of stories on celebrities and royals, fashion, current politics, books, puzzles, sewing, and gardening. There is always a plethora of incredible recipes (the recipe books that spring from this journal are legend). I was introduced to AWW by a friend in Oz, and immediately became hooked. While the flavor is definitely down-undah, it is in no way obscure and will be enjoyed by Stateside subscribers.
It would be a wonderfully indulgent gift to any avid reader, particularly an Aussie ex-pat, or anyone who wishes American women's magazines treated women as though they had IQ's over 80. There is nothing like it in the States. |
