http://empowering.hearst.co.uk/be-informed/this-is-what-a-feminist-looks-like/

Elle has created this article as part of their 'Empoweing Women' movement shown via the t-shirt campaign explore in earlier research, the aim is to show and contradict the common misconception of what society view feminist as.

The article content is expressing and showcasing some famous feminists, this article explore their view on feminism. The aim of the article is to fight the existing mis stereotypes of being a feminists, the common view many people have of what a feminist is as shown by other research into urban dictionary highlight that many people see feminist as 'men hating' where as this is far for the definition and the beliefs of feminists.

 









The whole underpinning concept of this Elle camping is to fit with the idea of changing this social stereotype, but again even though the idea is here by accident there is an a issue with this article as it does not show a very diverse range of feminist. 

In this article due to the subject it chose to include this articles expresses feminist to be mostly white heterosexual females, the lack of diversity in the article again is setting a different stereotype for what it's expressing as a feminists. The lack of males in this articles is adding to the idea that feminism is a purely female issue and belief.
