Serena Williams Nike Ad Exposed the Double Standard - Siobhan Crummey

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/25/success/serena-williams-ad-trnd/index.html

This weekend, during the Oscars, an ad aired featuring not only Serena Williams, but many women in sports today. They showed women coaches, women basketball coaches, women in positions of power, and most importantly, women that got angry. Typically, when women get angry or show emotion of any kind, we're labelled as irrational, and delusional. This ad played showing the importance of women in sports positions and how men need to wake up an understand that we're going to break barriers no matter what.

This relates to history because for hundreds of years women showing emotion have been labelled as "on their period." The audience is women who should keep fighting. The point of view is a woman, so she knows what its like. The importance is immeasurable, as it pertains to an entire group of humans. The purpose was to inform.
