The Male Gaze
Laura was born on August the 15th 1941, she is best known for her essay on visual pleasure and narrative cinema which was written in 1973 which helped establish feminist film theory as a legitimate field of study. Much of her early work investigated questions of spectral identification and its relationship to the male gaze.As this was in the 70's things have changed since then, as men can be used in the same way by attracting women, with there body's and personal looks to sell products.

OK George. Make sure you reference where you found this information, and make sure you actually explain what the male gaze is!
