Our topic will look specifically at the portrayal of femininity in advertising and how this portrayal affects its women viewers.  Portrayals of femininity in advertising have many well-documented affects in scholarly papers across the world.  We plan on harnessing this information to gain a better understanding of how women are affected by these advertisements that emphasize femininity.  Currently, I do not have very many questions about the topic, but may have more questions as we continue to analyze our texts that we have found.  One question is about the final product of this project.  I see on the guidelines that we will eventually be creating a PowerPoint and website.  Is there any paper that goes along with that and how far along are we in the timeline to the end of the project?
