3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples. 

-They need to look seductive and sexy all the time.
-Cleaning and cooking is a women's job.
-Women are under the control of men.

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

-They are more sexualised.

-They use filters to appear more attractive.

5) How do your chosen adverts suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 60 years? 

In the 2000s in most adverts women are not the only people that clean and cook but also men unlike in the 1950s where cleaning and cooking was a "women's job." Also, in the 2000s women are more sexualised in adverts to grab the attention of more males which is a downgrade from the 1950s.
