In pairs, first discuss then individually produce a paragraph response to the following question:
To what extent is our cultural value of men and women defined by the language we use?
For example:Why is it ok to call a single woman a ‘spinster’ and a single man a ‘bachelor’? The connotations of these words have different cultural values.

For each of the posters on the sheet, comment on the following aspects for analysis: How does it challenge gender stereotypes? Are there aspects of the ad that paradoxically reinforce or
play into these same stereotypes? Is this ad ultimately liberating? How does the text of the advertisement either complement
or work against the image?

Liz Lochhead’s work frequently focuses on girlhood, motherhood, the female side of a relationship.
She is very much a Scottish writer and Scotland is not an infrequent presence in her work, in one way or another.
One of her most prominent works is her punchy play Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off (1989), which brings both previous points together.
In the play, the main protagonist, Mary Stuart, is, after all, a Catholic queen in a Protestant land, and a woman in a man’s world.
