Jean Kilborne is my new hero! Just got back from one of her lectures/media presentations at a college near my school. wow

Fascinating/disturbing analysis of the depiction of women in advertising. Really got me on my soapbox on the drive home.

This is one of those subjects I've got to blog about. I'm serious this time. No more empty promises. But meanwhile I've gotta go do some reading.... :-)

For info on the issues check out, "About Face" or Jean's resource list.

"About Face promotes positive self-esteem in girls and women of all ages, sizes, races and backgrounds through a spirited approach to media education, outreach and activism."

I should note that I don't necessarily agree with how they do everything but I thought the "make changes" link was helpful.
