I recently read the book Mad Women which is about women working in advertising during the 1960s to present. It says the 60s & 70s were turning points where many agencies that viewed the customer as an idiot started to go out of business. Most women at the time were only allowed to work on certain ad projects. No car or credit card ads; mostly soaps and feminine products.

She looks rather brainless. Guess her purpose in life was to consume things.

[cuteliteraturegeek19]

she's so bloody bad at everything she tries except smiling at children and basting the chicken. just think what any easy sell she'll be!

[tmarnt]

What was the point of that?

[atildatank]

They are trying to redefine women as a significant portion of consumers in the newly developed market during the 60s.

[atildatank]

I think that the woman in the film (which might be part of a longer film) is purposely unsatisfied as the film attempts to portray that the gender roles of females in question have been radically changed during that transitional era of consumerism. The film was made in 1967 so there were likely some real paradigm shifts in consumer behavior and female angst over their suppression in light of making certain choices as a newly defined niche in the economy thereupon.
