Perfection, Body Image and Today's Women

One of the speakers on the Dove Real Beauty Campaign Tour,Author Courtney Martin, will give a presentation and discuss her book, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normalcy of Hating Your Body.  This event will take place on Monday, February 4, 2008 from 12:00pm-1:00pm in the Mabee Ballroom B at Saint Edward's University in Austin, TX.  

The is effective crisis management because it is bringing forth an issue, and discussing the negative aspects and the things you can learn from them.

Martin discusses how," You can be anything, but you don't have to be everything."  It is about striving to have the perfect body and how it is not important and to focus on other things.  This pertains to the dove campaign we watched in class.  It talks about self image and peoples desire to look perfect.  I feel this event would help people get over that, not just women, but all genders.
