2. An economic room of one's own : A study of commercial femininity in Swedish beauty advertising 1930–1950
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Based in the rapidly changing economic and cultural rooms of 1930s and 1940s Sweden, this study consults beauty advertising to find how advertiser’s endeavours to reconcile industrial mass consumption with individuality looked in the weekly press and how depictions of femininity changed throughout the interwar period and into the early-post war era.
