Femininity in the past

Under the folder in Blackboard that deals with 'Early Women's Magazines" there is an item named the "Women's Home Medical Journal". This item has several jpg files that you can access that have been scanned directly from this magazine.

Your task is to open up the third image - which is an advertisement for a weight loss supplement - and analyse the way femininity is presented through this advertisement.

In your analysis you are aiming to demonstrate how femininity is represented by considering the images, the word choices and the social values, attitudes and beliefs that are being demonstrated. Remember, femininity is a social construct that is developed by a society's values, attitudes, beliefs, etc.

You need to publish your finished answer - in the form of a paragraph - on your blog.
