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.
One stereotype from the advert is that woman were meant to cook and clean and that they were meant to stay at home,Another stereotype was that woman had to look good for their husbands otherwise their husband may lose interest in them and leave them.



4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.
That they are more now not as sterotypical it shows them standing up for themself and that in the makeup adverts above they look happy and feel confident and its that they use the makeup to make them self feel good 




5) How do your chosen adverts suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years? 
As now woman are not controlled by men anymore and they can do whatever they ant and they also can do things that were not aloud to during those time periods for example like divorcing their husband and like working and rather than staying at home and doing the cooking and cleaning woman now have much more freedom now than during those times
