Synopsis of Century of Women: Image and Popular Culture

This video seeks to help viewers understand how our culture has evolved to a point where dress sizes and fashion tend to ignore the realities of the way most women are built. What is "ideal beauty" and why does our culture place so much value on being thin? Both women and men might find it interesting to learn how American women really view themselves. How do women hold on to some semblance of self-esteem when living in a culture that seems to tell them that they have little value if they are overweight? Examine why there's a double standard that allows so many men to almost completely ignore their weight and ability to dress fashionably. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide
