Representation Theory.

             The magazine cover displays a woman wearing a race suit and helmet. Based on the magazine's cover, masthead, and cover lines, this magazine is about female racers. However, when using representation theory, we note that racing sports such as NASCAR are mostly dominated by the male portion of society. Now considering that this sport is male-dominated, we notice that a female is participating in this sport as well, which can be depicted by others as she's different then most stereotypes. When considering the male stereotypical sports, these female racers display that other women can participate in whatever they would like, but the stereotype of these female racers may be depicted as different from other women in society. However, most women globally would be known as helpers, nurturers, and homemakers, so when some studies this cover, they are most likely not thinking about who is inside the helmet and who she is as a person. This magazine displays a female racer to catch the eyes of many other women, to persuade them that they should be able to do whatever they please, even if it is against their normal stereotypical selves. On the cover of the magazine, one of the cover lines describes the women in the magazine who achieved success and went against all odds to achieve this success. This cover line may also persuade more women to try and achieve success with their hobbies, and go against all odds to become themselves, and to become their favorite versions of themselves. When studying the racer's facial expression displayed in the magazine, it can seem quite intimidating. However, when noticing the racer's outfit color, we normally depict the color white as purity or innocence. So even when the female racer seems intimidating, we can conclude that her suit color may display innocence.
