The DeKalb Area Women’s Center, 1021 State St. in DeKalb will be showing the film ‘Miss Representation’, this Monday, November 19th at 8:30 p.m.. Miss Representation is the award-winning documentary film that exposes how mainstream media contributes to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman or girl to feel powerful herself.
MissRepresentation.org is the social action campaign of the documentary film. Its mission is to shift people’s consciousness, inspire individual and community action, and ultimately, transform culture so everyone, regardless of gender, can fulfill their potential. Tickets are $5 for DAWC, and $10 for nonmembers. For more information call 815-758-1351 or email dawc@niu.edu.
