Hello everyone,
I'm Sara, I'm an Italian university student and I'm currently working on my final dissertation about advertising aimed at women (in English).
I was wondering if you could give me a hand...
I've already written loads of stuff about the language used basically to re-inforce stereotypes such as the beautiful (and thin) woman and the woman as object.
Now I should write about the housewife/perfect mother role but I don't know where to start, from a linguistic point of view.
Any suggestions?
Any headlines you've come across that suggest that the kitchen is the woman's paradise (or shall I say, hell?!)?
Thanks for your help!
