Publication: Technical Communication

C. David, 2001. Technical communication quarterly 10, no, 1:5-29.

With women making up almost half of today's workforce, their portrayal in corporate pictures and portraits becomes another area where women must lobby for equality with their male counterparts. Historically, women were

pushed to the background in most pictures, and those that were visible appeared to be beautiful, yet passive and unintelligent subjects. As more women entered corporate boardrooms and offices, their portrayal shifted to a more visible bodily presence coupled with a subservient look obtained from their gaze, lighting and clothing choices. Today, more informal settings afford men and women equal dominance and prominence through either subject's direct gaze, dark clothing, and choice of background and lighting.
