Jean Kilbourne on "The Naked Truth: Advertising's Image of Women"
Thursday, March 20, 7pm
The Bush School, Gymnasium

We are each exposed to more than 5,000 ads every day, yet most of us believe we are not influenced by advertising. This presentation illustrates that ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values and concepts of success and worth, love, sexuality, and normalcy. Drawing on more than 30 years of research, Jean Kilbourne explores the relationship of advertising images to problems in society, such as violence, sexual abuse, eating disorders, racism, and sexism.
