How are women represented in Mr. selfridge?
In Mr. selfridge I can tell that women are belittled quite a lot and are seen as inferior to men. this is shown as the women have less important jobs and are sort of segregated away from the men.
Women are also judged a lot on their class. Upper class women wouldnt have jobs during this time period but the more working class would have to earn a living. The clothing and makeup give a lot away about the ladies in this time. The working class poorer women wore dark dresses with minimum makeup whereas the higher class women wear brighter clothing with extragagant hats and more makeup. This indicates their wealth.
