The documentary "Miss Representation" chronicles the insights of an admirable and influential group of women.

It emphasizes the narrow and often disparaging representation of women in the media, which not only puts more and more young girls in crisis, such as eating disorders, self-harm, depression, etc., but also bears greater responsibility for another problem. That is, women are extremely underrepresented in all positions of power and influence in the United States.

The film also specifically addresses the disappointing notion that the media conveys to young girls:

that a woman's worth is determined by her youth, beauty, and sexuality, not by her intent to lead or her ability to lead.
