Women's hockey sure has come a long ways over the years. Check out this old Spalding ad from 1948:
Spalding highly encouraged women to participate in sports. But they should be restricted to activities such as badminton and tennis, definitely not hockey! I bet that would raise quite the racket nowadays!
Alas, not everyone back then was so chauvinistic. Here's a 1932 Patriotas Campeones Cigarettes ad from France. Clearly the woman on the right enjoys playing hockey:

I, uh, only see one woman and it's on the left not on the right... the other two people are men, they have the same slick haircut.
I think the message's even worse... women in hockey are good only to bring on the cigars/cigarettes.
That's how I see it, at least.
