Decades of sexist ads, magazine covers and TV shows have had a profound impact on society’s perception of women, as well as women’s perception of themselves. The majority of media portrayals depicted women in caretaker roles — like housewives, mothers, and sexy girlfriends — or in typically female jobs like nurses, teachers, or secretaries.  This depiction of women greatly influenced how women were treated in the office, at home, and even in the court. While these depictions have evolved — in part due to an increasing number of women creatives — we have a long way to go to see the image of women truly reflect the women of 2020.

Our speakers will address the role of public relations in addressing this issue, as well as showcase some of the PR pioneers who worked hard to change the image of women.
