Privileging the Privileged: Gender in Indian Advertising
Examining the new roles and position of women in current times, this book artfully draws critical analysis of more than 2500 advertisements. Dissecting advertisements in meticulous detail, the author presents the portraying of women in stereotyped images. While doing this, she challenges advertisers to re-examine their notions of gender, in order to uphold women's inviolable right to be treated with respect and dignity, as human beings.
