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. 
In most60s print ads,women are seen as inferior and weaker than men.like my last picture, it is infering that the women should belong with the shoes.Futhermore,in the tide advert, it makes it seem like the woman wants to stay at home and wants to do the washing which infers the fact that women are worthless and it has became a normality that they should do all the housework.Finally,in the advert of which the woman is wishing the pilot goodbye can also be quiet sexist.The reason of this is because it states that the woman wants him to comew back soon infering that it would be hard for the woman tosurvive on her own without a man around to help.
4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.
Some people might still believe that woman are still seen as infireor.The reason that i said this is for example, in the gucci advert,the man is in the main image wheras the women are just seen in the backround and might only be there to please the men.Also,in the first advert, it might have a deeper meaning that maybe if women were to exit the house that they are more likly to get ill and therefore,they should stay at home.Finally
5) How do your findings suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 50 years?
I feel like the gender representation hasent really changed much.For example like in the gucci advert, it still consists of stereo types but is trying to hide itwithin the contex of the advert.
