Authors:
- Presents an analysis of masculinity construction in a large corpus of women’s magazines
- Employs a feminist Critical Stylistic framework that brings together tools from Critical Discourse Analysis, Stylistics and Corpus Linguistics

- Demonstrates how a corpus-based approach can reveal the role of media texts as mechanisms of gender performativity
