Abstract
The purpose of this research is to elucidate the relationship between radio and domestic life. In Japan, radio broadcasting started in 1925. This article focuses on the "image" of radio that was represented in magazines for women of that time. I analyze articles about radio which appeared in three magazines. The results show that most of the articles focused on electrical gadgets and technology. This demonstrates that the "image" of radio in domestic life was presented within a specific social context. In magazines for women, the "image" of radio was as a symbol of modern science in the form of new domestic appliances.
