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 posts.












3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples. 
- Women are portrayed as needing to be very pretty or attractive in both the 1950s and the 2000s. They also rely on male validation or men to help them - shown in the 2nd 2000s advert I've shown that says "Your wife is HOT! Better get the air conditioning fixed" which denotes to women having to rely on men to do things for them.

4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.
- Post 2000s, the stereotypes for women 
5) How do your chosen adverts suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years?
- My chosen adverts suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years as women in advertising are no longer severely depicted or shown as domestic.
