Gender Representation in Advertising

-

 1) Find three adverts featuring women that are from the 1950s or 1960s. Save the images to your Media folder as jpegs and then import them into your blog post. Hint: You may wish to look at car, perfume or cleaning products but can use any product you wish.









2) Find three adverts featuring women that are from post-2000. Save the images to your Media folder as jpegs and then import them into your blog post.








3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples. 

most of them are working housewives catering to there husbands 

4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.

post-2000 advertising often shows a woman's role as passive, dependent, and focused mostly on appearance

5) How do your chosen adverts suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years? 

Now you have a higher chance of seeing a coloured person on a advertisement and you are less likely to see a woman to be working for a man/being a maid
