Welty studied advertising at the Columbia University Business School; Welty’s father had told her that if she planned to be a writer, she should have another skill she could use if things went bad. During the Depression, Welty found a job in the field of advertising. Welty returned to Mississippi and spent the next few years working as a writer for radio and as a society editor. In 1933, she began working for the Works Progress Administration, traveling throughout Mississippi, taking photographs, interviewing people,
and writing newspaper articles. Welty later credited this experience with providing her with much material for her short stories as well as sharpening her habit of observation. During this time, she wrote her first story, “Death of a traveling salesman.” Was published by a little magazine called “manuscript.” Her ability as a writer soon attracted the attention of Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks, editors of The Southern Review, and over the next years her writing appeared in that magazine as well as in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Sewanee Review. Even though Welty has repeating themes and characteristics such as regionalism in her writing, her work resists categorization. Thus, making Welty was a regional author who rejected that label and used mythology in her writing, she also uses her experiences as a photographer to enhance her writing.

Women – beautiful, strong matriarchal forces that drive and define a portion of the society in which we live – are poised and confident individuals who embody the essence of determination, ambition, beauty, and character. Incomprehensible and extraordinary, women are persons who possess an immense amount of depth, culture, and sophistication. Society’s incapability of understanding the frame of mind and diversity that exists within the female population has created a need to condemn the method in which women think and feel, therefore causing the rise of “male-over-female” domination – sexism. Sexism is society’s most common form of discrimination; the need to have gender based separation reveals our culture’s reluctance to embrace new ideas, people, and concepts. This is common in various aspects of human life – jobs, households, sports, and the most widespread – the media. In the media, sexism is revealed through the various submissive, sometimes foolish, and powerless roles played by female models; because of these roles women have become overlooked, ignored, disregarded – easy to look at, but so hard to see.

The average American is exposed to hundreds of advertisements per day. Advertisements targeted toward females have an enormous effect on women's thoughts, attitudes, perceptions, and actions. Most of the time, women don't even realize these advertisements are formulating self-image issues. These ideals surround them daily and they become naturalized to the ads. Advertising creates an entire worldview persuading women to emulate the images they see all around them. In order to create a market for their products, companies constantly prey upon women's self esteem, to feel like they aren't good enough just the way they are. This makes women constantly feel stressed out about their appearance (Moore). Advertising has a negative effect on women's body image, health, and self-esteem.
