Gender Advertisements investigates the way commercial advertising both reflects and helps shape our concept of “masculine” and “feminine” behavior. Goffman argues that gender ideas are the result of a ritualized cultural performance. He presents a series of photographs and advertisements in order to illustrate a pattern of gendered displays and poses.
