Gender In Movie Posters

[Frank W. Baker]

Lesson Bucket is a great resource from the UK. Here are various movie posters, some dating back to the 1930's, for student exploration and study. The website says "representations can reflect the values of those who created them and the society in which they were produced. It’s interesting to note that, over time, as women have gained greater equality, the way women are represented in movie posters has changed considerably."
