Woman of the 1950's were stereotyped more as slaves of men rather then people who should be aloud to express their own views and thoughts on things. 1950's was one of the worst time for sexism towards woman. a lot of advertisements produced by the media showed things like woman doing chores such as cooking and cleaning, it also showed men being the 'boss' who gets what ever he wants. The stereotype of a woman was that they would stay at home and do things for men such as cooking and cleaning, if woman didn't live up to these tasks they would be dealt to. An example of this is an this advertisement for coffee:
