Information

Around 1950s and 1960s there was a lot of underlying sexism and judgment of
woman being potrayed in the media. Woman were seen as inferior to men and
were not supposed to work outside jobs. The media potrayed the perfect woman
as someone who stayed at home all day and cooked cleaned and took care of the
children. As time went on many woman started working more and this was met
with backlash from some men and the media. For woman who did go to work
they were given small bad jobs and not given a fair salary.
