Sexist Vintage Ads: A History Lesson

Oct 10th 2008
By Paula Kashtan

Have you seen the new (and creepy) Levi's "Unleash Your Beast" campaign yet? Just add it to the list of incredibly offensive advertisements.

Take a look at these outrageous advertisements from the early 20th century, though, and it's clear that we've still come a long way. One of our favorite lines, from a 1938 Palmolive ad: "A wife can blame herself if she loses love by getting 'middle-age' skin!" Another helpfully reminds female readers that "Beauty is your duty."
