Museum examines the role of women in advertising

The Museum of Brands in Notting Hill, west London, is to look at the portrayal of women in advertising with a series of talks and a specially commissioned film.

It said: "At a time when gender balance is the subject of many a debate in the media, in business and more recently in government, we feel it's important to look at the evolution of the female role model in advertising and how this feeds into our day to day lives."
