"In particular, three features of the "woman's magazine" paradigm interacted with Gates's immediate, Mormon context to structure the Young Woman's Journal. These were the understanding of the women's magazine as a public female space, the sisterly editorial voice, and the dialogism—sometimes dissonant—of the magazine form. At the core of the Young Woman's Journal was a specific generational voice, addressing itself to the "girls" in response to the pressures and transitions registering in Mormondom during a pivotal decade. Moreover, the Young Woman's Journal was unique among magazines of the period in using the women's magazine form to target a "young woman" audience. This generational dynamic, while rooted in concerns particular to the LDS community, invites us to ask broader questions about the generational aspects of women's magazines and about the role of those periodicals in shaping the developing concept of adolescence."
