Miss Representation! You can't be what you can't see.

I went to a screening for this fabulous documentary film yesterday morning at the Women's Democratic Club in Collier County and I recommend that everyone see this! We need to start asking ourselves what we can do to make a change that will put women in a different light and give them positions of power.

Stop objectifying women! Empower women!

Miss Representation
You can't be what you can't see.

Women are...
3% of clout positions in mainstream media
3% of Fortune 500 CEO's
7% of mainstream film directors
16% of film protagonists
17% of Congress
51% of the population

2011 is the first year since 1979 that women have not gained seats in Congress.

THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!
