-public speaker, writer, filmmaker and activist who is  internationally recognized for her work on the image of women in advertising

“Ads sell more than products. They sell values, they sell images. They sell concepts of love and sexuality, of success and perhaps most important, of normalcy. To a great extent, they tell us who we should and shouldn’t be.”

“Women’s bodies continue to be dismembered in advertising. Over and over again just one part of the body is used to sell products, which is one of the most dehumanizing things you can do to someone. Not only is she a thing, but not one part of that things if focused on.”
