Woman in 1920s



This advert portrays woman in the 1920s as feeble, and so weak that the men have gone and created a bottle with a flip so that they can open it. This shows that there was a lot of sexism back in the 1920s. The fact that "woman" was underlined shows that the producers and/or company who made this advert had no shame in showing and underlining the high levels of sexism. And from the above print advert, we, the audience, can infer that woman didn't really care about how they were seen in the eyes of certain men, because of the fact that a woman is the main picture that anyone sees and her face suits the copy below her. She is shocked that she can FINALLY open a bottle, that she wasn't able to before. The question is phrased so that it's SO shocking that a woman can open something, that she won't break or hurt herself.
