the sexualization of young girls



I have not read this book yet so I cannot personally recommend it, but don't you think it looks interesting? Thankfully, more and more people are becoming aware of this problem.



*excerpt from Publisher's Weekly:
"We've all seen it--the tiny T-shirts with sexually suggestive slogans, the four-year-old gyrating to a Britney Spears song, the young boy shooting prostitutes in his video game--and University of Iowa journalism professor Durham has had enough. In her debut book, she argues that the media--from advertisements to Seventeen magazine--are circulating damaging myths that distort, undermine and restrict girls' sexual progress."
