 Britney, Barbie, and Body Image: Media vs. Reality
Robyn Ross, Media expert

Thirty million women don’t look like supermodels, and only eight do—so why do we think they should set the standard for the rest of us? Media expert Robyn Ross will expose how our culture sends mixed messages about food, beauty, and sex appeal. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the way women are depicted in the mass media, and learn how to outsmart advertisers and industries that make careers out of convincing you to feel dissatisfied with your body.
