One may argue that the media has also heavily influenced the concept of the ‘ideal’ body for women. In the 1950's, the widespread idea of an 'ideal' body was an 'hour-glass', or 'fuller' figure. This had much to do with the mainstream influence of a very well known American fashion and beauty icon; Marilyn Monroe. If she did not exisit, one may argue that the media may not have encouraged this new idea about women's bodies. Therefore, it is not always the media who are the main influence for our ideas about ourselves, it has a lot to do with certain people, whether they are movie stars, designers or models etc, who make a name for themselves and put themselves on a platform to voice their opinions and share them with the world; if they achieve global acceptance, the mass opinion will therefore change.
They would play practical jokes on the travelers, and this is what Hal encounters in his play. Many of these connections between all of the characters and Edwards life is a big part of the authorship debate, and it is what Oxfordians like to use when they are arguing over who wrote the works. Because the authorship debate between Edward de Vere, the 17th earl of Oxford, and William Shakespeare has gone on for many years, many arguments have started, and much has been proven.

Priestley was desperate for the audience take the precious opportunity they had and stop the wars, and look back at the catastrophe they had caused not to long ago. In 1912 there were very strong boundaries between the upper and lower classes; however in 1946 they had fallen significantly due to the two world wars. Furthermore, the roles of women had also changed drastically, for when the play was set, all a lady could do was get married if they were rich, or become cheap labour if they were poor. By the time the play was written all this had progressed, and females were valued a great deal more, and gained the privilege of being able to vote and were no longer low down in society. ‘I’m talking as a hard-headed, practical man of business, and I say there isn’t a chance of war.’ This is evidence of the dramatic irony the play contains, but also proof of how self-absorbed, pretentious and pompous Arthur Birling is.

This vote should not be taken as a sign that men were becoming more accepting of women infiltrating what was formally known as male only territory. It should be noted that most of the students believed that either the vote was a joke or that Blackwell would not stay around long. Blackwell proved all the skeptics wrong by graduating in the top of her class, but still no hospital in the United States would allow her to intern.
Some male writers attacked imperial women's education, political power, and sexuality. Roman women did have one kind of real power - the wealth that came from their right to own and inherit property. Despite this wealth and prestige, no Roman woman actually ruled the empire in her own name, although some other countries did have women rulers: Egyptian queen Cleopatra, Queen Boudicca of the Britons, and Zenobia, who reigned over Palmyra in Syria.
