"Feminist views expressed through WW1 (or) 2 propaganda"

"The comparison between the propaganda throughout ww1 and that of ww2, regarding the exploration of feminism through it"


REASONS TO ADDRESS WW1

- More examples of anti-feminism are apparent, the women only began to work productively 1917

- Therefore more imagery to analyse that contains feminist content


REASONS TO ADDRESS WW2


- There is more evidence of feminism explored through ww2 propaganda. Women worked alongside men and productively in the war.


------------------


- could my essay almost act chronologically? WW1 which then leads to the type of propganda in WW2 (commenting on the contrast?)


- Should I write about how in ww1 women were not treated equally, which is shown through the propaganda? How the propaganda presents the emerging of equality? 


- Semiotically, analysing ww1 posters shows how the role of women has changed so much. The rise of feminism??

- I will focus on BRITISH propaganda

- How ww1 & ww2 British propaganda showed the productiveness of women's roles


* analysed through semiotic - hidden messages
* sociological research into social role of women
* the specific type & image
