Summary:
"Explores the history and social effects of the media's objectification of women, as well as ongoing efforts toward gender equality"-- Provided by publisher.
Women are often portrayed as sex objects in advertising and entertainment media. Evans shows that by using women's bodies and body part to sell products makes them seem as less than human, and can cause women and girls to start viewing themselves as objects, feeling their self-worth is entirely tied in to their appearance/beauty/weight. This objectification also creates boys and men to have unattainable expectations and can lead to increased violence against women. -- adapted from Introduction
