Last week I went to see a showing of Miss Representation, a documentary film shown courtesy of the American Corner here in Belgrade and followed by a panel/audience discussion. This film deals with how women are portrayed in the media....and readers, it's getting worse, not better. I highly recommend this documentary if it is shown in your area. If you click on the above link, you'll see that you can even arrange for a showing in your area.

«Louis» notices "Rosie the Riveter" on the cover...If you come to CA this summer, he'll show you the "Rosie the Riveter" Park on the Richmond waterfront. The Kaiser Shipyards mass produced Liberty and Victory ships here and the inspiration for "Rosie" came out of this.
