Abstract / Description of output

This paper looks at how fatherhood, as part of the visual discourse around the family, has been portrayed in commercial print advertising in one popular Australian women’s magazine, Australian Women’s Weekly (AWW) since the 1950’s. It shows how the breadwinner model still persists despite the shift from the less engaged father figure of the 1950’s to a more active father in contemporary print advertising.
