I stumbled on an interesting website as I was perusing e-magazines. I love reading women's/ girls' magazines. There was a website from UK on the chronological presentation of women's magazines. Imagine that!
The early part of the 20th Century portrayed women as traditional, with their primary role as homemakers. The advertisements were on products like groceries. As the decades passed, the advertisements included beauty products as well, though the majority was still groceries.
The current magazines portray women as independent, sexy and seductive. From a religious viewpoint, these qualities are certainly contrary to what women were meant to be!
