The media provide strong and persuasive messages about the intersection of culture and gender roles. Given the power of the media to influence and ""educate"" the public, understanding its images of girls and women is critical.

Featuring Females is a diverse and provocative volume, exploring images and characterizations of women young and old, and inspiring discussion of the effects that these representations have on girls, women, and society at large. 240 pages.
