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.
 
Adverts from the 200s that included women made women look very exposed however in the earlier years for example 1950s the women was dressed very modest.

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

In the adverts it gives the idea that men think they are superior to women.
 
4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.



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

Now women are not always housewives they also go to work and are the bread winners
