YBWC: “Miss Representation” Film Screening & Discussion

Wednesday Feb 29, 7 PM, Whitney Humanities Center Auditorium
Miss Representation (90 min), written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, 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. Featuring stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, like Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem. Cosponsored by Broad Recognition, CCEs, the LGBTQ Co-op, MEChA, Pi Beta Phi, Queer Peers, Women in Science at Yale, WYSE, Yale Black Women’s Coalition & more.
