Join the Blaine School PTA for a screening of this new documentary about portrayals of women and girls in the Media. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Miss Representation exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself.

Includes post-film discussion with expert panelists:

Rachel Durchslag, Executive Director, Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation
Jennifer Loudon, Director of Behavioral Health, Chicago Public Schools
Kate Webster, Director of Violence Prevention Programs, Thousand Waves
