The work analyzes the gender role of the ‘Woman’ title, how she must walk, talk, move and think in order for the title to apply. By enlarging an article found in a 1937 ‘LIFE’ magazine (“How a Wife Should Properly Undress”), I am comparing the constraints and expectations of the past with the present. This is an ongoing project to examine the ‘female” and “male” gender roles versus the ‘woman’ and ‘man” titles in an attempt to expose the illusion of their applied meaning.
