Today's focus was on women's health and images of women in the media. our resources were: sarah culbertson, MSW student who came to talk with us about her work at the Chicago Womens' Health Center, the nations longest established health clinic for women; women's interest magazines, which we spent time paging through, tearing out images of "real women," and "ideal women"; videos from the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty; "Killing Us Softly 3"; we then responded to the day with 4 collages and answers to these questions: 1:what statements can you now make about images of women in the media? 2: what do we need to let everyone know about what we learned today? 3: how should we share our work from today?
