Cosmopolitan is a female-targeted magazine that centers on the motto, "Fun-Fearless-Female" (March outside binding).
This notion of a woman's independence and freedom is frequently discussed throughout the magazine, but not without being
accompanied by a discourse of 'the heterosexual female desire of a marital commitment in a female-male relationship'
- a desired game to win the prized symbolic 'diamond ring'. The magazine includes a plethora of articles, images, and
advertisements which revolve around this 'man hooking' game - all of which to be analyzed through semiotics and discourse analysis.
