Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem’s piece “Sex, Lies, and Advertising” was a very interesting essay. I had never read any of Steinem’s work, and I quite honestly did not, and still don’t, know much about her, except that she is a feminist. I was very interested in hearing about the battle she had trying to get advertisers to change their way of thinking when it came to advertisements in women’s magazines, particularly Ms magazine. I had no idea there were so many rules and regulations when it came to the placement of advertisements in magazines. Steinem used many examples of her quest for advertisers throughout her essay and this is what kept me interested. In addition I was able to relate to what Steinem was saying about the amount and quality of advertisements in women’s magazines. Throughout Steinem’s essay she uses great example that allow the reader to see how difficult it was to change the minds of company executives.
