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






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. 


Women have to stay at home and do domestic chores and shouldn't have jobs and that have to dress and look a certain way. They also have to do what their husbands say.



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

That women have to look and dress in a certain way. They are objectified and sexualised.



5) How do your findings suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 50 years? 

  Before Women stayed at home doing domestic chores e.g. cleaning and cooking. They also had to      listen to what their husbands said.

Now days women are objectified, sexulised and have freedom.

But over the last 50 years they always have to dress and look a certain way. 




Extension: Find three adverts that subvert gender stereotypes and write a paragraph about how they do this.
