A Review Of U.S. Advertising Since 1950

As the 1950's advertisements reflected, women had a particular place within the confines of both society and home; theirs was to facilitate the family in such a manner as to uphold every aspect of its existence. Entering into the twenty-first century, there is hardly a glimpse of such blatant gender bias in contemporary advertising. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
