Women have definitely been a big topic in advertising. There are typically sexual innuendos and misogynistic messages, although I believe with all the fuss about feminism uprising, a lot more female based ads have been positive. This Dove ad (and most of the Dove ads in general) make me happy. I love seeing the "campaign for real beauty." It delivers a powerful message to women of all ages that imperfection is beauty. That's from one of my favorite quotes by Marilyn Monroe, "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." It hangs in my bathroom to remind me that even when my makeup isn’t on point, I'm still beautiful. The "campaign for real beauty" empowers women by reminding them that beauty is more than skin deep.
