Great information! I feel that I understand so much more about how the media is used to influence my thoughts as a woman. 

I am glad to have read this while my daughter and son are young. I hope to teach her to look critically at all things media so as to not be trapped in the same cycle as women before her. I hope to teach him to view women as a whole human beings that are more than how they look. I hope to teach them both to appreciate all women's bodies, not only the default 'iron maiden' they will see in media. 

I would recommend this book to any woman that wants to learn and take control of her feelings when faced with media. I would also encourage men to read it so they can be aware of their part in this story, both presently and throughout history. I will admit that it was a dry read that took concentrated effort to get through. However, I feel the information gleaned was worth the work of this read.
