Female Representation in Disney throughout the Years and its Influence on Children
There have been many arguments that Disney’s representation of women has a huge influence on children’s perception of women, beauty and society. Disney has a very strategic syntagm of how they produce animated movies featuring princesses. The educational infographic I decided to make has several purposes.
