Advantages: A good read if you have a spare minute.

Disadvantages: Not enought to read, far to many ads.

It can't be too hard to write articles for women's magazines: love, work or clothes, a touch of agony aunt-style advice and, if all else fails, George Clooney!

New Woman is a simple blend of those ingredients (although it does rely a bit too heavily on George!), easy to read and easy to forget. What irks is the overly proud staff, featuring themselves whereve possible.

If the staff actually wrote enough to fill the magazine, you'd understand why they were so proud of themselves. Deadline are toght, after all. But they don't. Instead, they fill the pages with themselves. And their families. And friends. And "showbiz" friends. This makes the magazine extremely irritating - after all, why should they be forcing their lives on us?

That aside, it does have a wide range of subjects and, unlike other mags doesn't immediately ignore anyone who strays from the "norm", by being unemployed or not living in London, for example!

All in all, this is a good read, spoiled by writers desperate for their five minutes of fame.
