The new images are created from mid-20th century ads by brands like; Hardee’s, Chase & Sanborn Coffee, and Lux liquid detergent.

Rezkallah told Emma Day of Emirates Woman,

“ Last Thanksgiving, I was visiting my family in New Jersey, and I overheard my uncles talk about how women are better off cooking, taking care of the kitchen, and fulfilling ‘their womanly duties.’”
