01
Artifact Overview
From the beginning, carmakers directed some advertisements specifically to women. This 1905 Oldsmobile ad promoted the car's reliability and ease of operation. But it also advertised a more fundamental benefit for female drivers. With an automobile, women could escape the dull drudgery of the home and connect with friends anywhere. The Oldsmobile "makes everyone your neighbor."
