The Golden Age of Hungarian Radio

This paper studies “Women’s Advisory,” a weekly magazine on Hungarian Radio broadcast between 1925 and 1945, addressing women, and hosted by Mária Arányi. It assesses the nature, structure and reception of this series on the basis of the texts and documents that are still available, and attempts to answer the question of how the anchor’s notion of womanhood relates to changes in gender and social roles during the post-war years. Does the broadcast reflect upon the emergence and spread of ‘modern ideas,’ including new female roles? Is it compatible with women’s duties and behaviour patterns that were considered traditional and acceptable during the Horthy era?
