Volume 1: A Woman's Worth
In Great Britain 29% of people agree that the main role for women in society is to be good wives and mothers. While we can point to other influences, marketing has done its fair share to reinforce gender bias. Of the ads tested in the Ipsos database, 58% feature women in traditional roles.
