Advertising. New York, NY: Free, 1999. Print.
I did not read all of the informing research this book had to offer but did catch some valuable
information that supported my topic. Kilbourne addresses the problems of women in the media and
how their bodies are used as objects for sales. She also touches the subject of image dysmorphia in
women and the pressures a lot of women deal with having to be like the women they see in the
media.

Authors, Sukamar and Venka, gave scientific information on the impact of female objectification in
advertising on women. It was really interesting to hear about the different theories the author gives
about how female obectification in advertising does hurt the public in negative ways. This subject
isnt talked about regualaly in society as it should be beucase it does shape the way our public thinks
and treats women.

The authors gave insight on their thought about the protrayal of women in society. They talk about
the way women are looked down on as a the lesser gender and are not respected as much as men in
some aspects. As support they wrote that women are usually used as objects in advertising have been
used this way as well in history, therfore explaining the okay of the ussge of these inequal sex roles.
