Say farewell to Two Tarts in the Kitchen

Article Abstract:

Many advertisements depict women in unrealistic ways so the first all-women advertising agency, The Female Advantage, has been set up. Women make 80% of all purchasing decisions and by 2000 will have a spending power of 120 billion pounds sterling. Almost every British advertising agency is run by a man and 80% of copywriters are men and they do not realise that women are starting to be alienated by unflattering depictions. Many women in the profession are likely to advance in their careers but since 1982 fewer female copywriters and art directors have been employed.

Reassurance on wheels

Article Abstract:

Ladycabs is a North London taxi service company run by and for women, on which the BBC has based a television series. London is extremely unsafe for women travelling alone. Black cabs are licensed and safe but very expensive. Minicab firms have a disreputable image. They are non-licensed, often uninsured and they attract drivers with criminal histories or illegal immigrants who do not know the city. Ladycabs taxis deliver women passengers directly to their front doors. The work is flexible for the female drivers and they also feel safer with mainly women passengers.
