Abstract

In the post feminist society, advertising has evolved into a new form, that is, women's empowerment advertising. Women's empowerment advertisements pay more attention to women's feelings, and convey women's self realization, self acceptance and self empowerment to the society at the same time. To a certain extent, such advertisements promote the development of feminism. Based on the post feminist perspective, through the critical analysis of two advertising cases, this paper examines the empowerment of women reflected in two typical advertisements. These two cases are Nike's Boundless Girls program, and PROYA's program which proposes gender is not the borderline, prejudice is. It concludes that women's empowerment advertisements do reflect women's consciousness and can contribute to China's women's movement, but they inevitably intend to sell their products. Once the simple act of purchasing products is regarded as gaining power, the concept of women's empowerment will be generalized, and the real needs of women will be covered up. Although the cases discussed in this paper are still relatively limited, it will still provide some enlightenment for the study of consumer culture from the perspective of post feminism.
