Independent Study - Representation of women

Make sure you keep reading, watching and listening to representations of women and start making your notes using the 4 key questions as sub-headings.

Start by reading the materials on this blog and the articles that your peers have found and linked.

You should also put together some examples that you think would make an interesting answer. For example, look into that Tangled film and read reviews. You could contrast it to older Disney films and look at how gender representations have evolved (Mulan also springs to mind).

You could also start selecting some TV or magazines adverts and analyze them

You could choose to focus on soaps and start exploring some key female characters.

Finally, remember to conduct your research into how a female audience responds to these representations and how they might be affected by them.
