"Gee I Wish I Were A Man" WWI Posterhttp://www.oddee.com/item_66536.aspx
This piece of propaganda is directed towards young men, hoping they may join the Navy during WWI. It shows a girl who is usually seen as "weaker" than the man, and in effect it hopes to embarrass any man afraid to join. I think it is good at manipulating because it gives the audience a sense that it is indeed the thing they should do since they are men. For the time it works because women did not join the navy, but the men were almost expected to. I think the best slogan that stands out is "Gee I wish I were a man", because it shows the attractiveness of the navy and that that is the "manly" thing to do.
