1 which women are represented and how they are represented?
Women are under represented in the 1960s Observer which reflects a patriarchal social and cultural context. Women were often represented within their relationship with men rather than them as an individual, they must always be accompanied with a man to be viewed with any sort of significance. For example "Jackie: We're very happy", this is where the wife of a dead US president remarries which shows she had only made the paper simply because she was the wife of an incredibly famous man in power and is know having to defend herself for remarrying another man.
Secondly, in the 1960s observer, women are also only represented if they show any significance within politics or in the monarchy such as how the Queen is one of the very few women represented outside of advertisements specifically tailored to women. On top of that the only other female politician mentioned is Barbara Castle, reflecting the political context of greater union power in that decade.
