Abstract:
This study aimed to examine the perceived effects of media exposure of body slimming advertisements on body dissatisfaction and the tendency for eating disorders in a sample of adult women in Malaysia. This study examined two aspects: (a) the level of media exposure to slimming advertisements (media exposure), and (b) the tendency of respondents to make body comparisons with models in slimming advertisements (media body comparisons). Participants were 419 young women (18 – 39 years old) living in Kuala Lumpur. Correlation coefficients showed that media exposure and media body comparisons wer

Abstract:
A socio,cultural component has long been blamed for the excessive concern with the appearance of women. Typically, the media is blamed for creating an impossible thin ideal as a model for women to emulate, and such images in magazines and on TV have been cast as the cause of widespread use of excessive dieting and eating disorders to achieve the "unachievable". The onset of theses two diseases typically occur during early adolescence or early adulthood when most young women are not only susceptible to cultural pressure for thinness and whiteness but also likely to be heavily involved with, and

Abstract:
With the growing pervasiveness of mass media, individuals of all ages and both sexes are bombarded with images that glorify youthfulness, messages that tie self-worth to thinness, and products that promise youth and beauty forever. Aging women are vulnerable to these societal messages and experience strong pressures to maintain their youth and thinness. As the physiological changes that accompany normal aging move these women farther from the “ideal” image, body dissatisfaction may increase. These women are confronted with the impossible task of trying to defy the natural process of aging thro

Exploitation of women now comes in new faces; through the mass media. Media currently has a dual role, like two sides of a coin, on one side the media serves as a mediator for the improvement and progress of the nation, on the other side contributes to the suppression of media for the benefit of market capitalism toward consumer culture women once again being the subject of image construction. Expansion of the market and the mass media can not be separated from the flow of consumerism, because the mass media (particularly advertising on television) is an extension of the market to boost sales

Stress, low self-esteem, mental illness issues and physical debility are recognised outcomes for women striving for an ideal body image (Paxton 2000).

Abstract:
The woman in media is still a face that symbolizes the field of popular culture and hypersexualized naked body, and it is most often presented in the media as a victim. In the last decade, the representation of women and the women`s movement in the media has managed to get some progress. In the media, we will not see Roma women, disabled women, we will not see poor women, because they are not topics that manage to sell media content. The only topic that sells newspapers is the topic of violence against women, first of all because it is a type of secondary victimization, where female identity through media content is again represented as ‘another', and through the identity of the victim. The dead or scorched female body and the continuum of violence satisfy the logic of market capital. The main areas that were highlighted in this research paper are the portrayal of women by the media, the marginalization of women in mass media, the image of women in media, the influence of media on the views of the gender, and the stereotypes of girls and women in the media.

Abstract:
Body image is a multidimensional construct that reflects the way we perceive and feel about our physical appearance. This inside view of our body heavily influences our self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being. Under the influence of mass media, peers and family, individuals, especially women, may feel pressured to conform to the societal standards of beauty, engage in upward social comparison, and consequently experience negative body image. While our sociocultural surroundings plays a role in the internalization process, other intrapersonal factors, such as appearance-based rejection sensitivity and lack of self-concept clarity, may heighten the risk for some individuals. Body image disturbances can be manifested in forms of avoidance behaviors, monitoring, eating restraints, and body modification. In order to promote body acceptance, we ought to gain insights into the formation of our body image and challenge the commonly held belief on who defines beauty.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the 1840-42 celebrity tour of Viennese dancer Fanny Elssler, which generated public enthusiasm described as "Elsslermania.” This celebrity mania demonstrated the possibilities of new mass media and marketing. It also offered contradictory views of American tastes and social behavior. Journalists read the dancer in relation to her publics. She was cast in idealized, sentimental terms and as a dangerous foreign threat to American society for both disrupting republican manhood and threatening genteel womanhood. Her draw with white middle-class publics signaled the growing gentrification of theater while producing alarm. Ultimately, this media-generated panic may have done more to enhance rather than damage her popularity—and profitability to journalists trafficking in her image.

Kenya has a diverse, vibrant and largely free media whose coverage of the election was useful in informing, educating and mobilizing women to vote. However, limited and biased media coverage of women candidates, inadequate civic and voter education may have inhibited women's electoral participation as few women contested and won electoral seats in the 2013 Kenyan polls. Therefore, the media should enhance the visibility of women, political rights and issues of women as the country endeavours to enhance gender equality in political representation. To achieve this, the media should partner with women, the electoral body, government, political parties and other stakeholders in Kenya in order to improve women's media coverage and political participation.

Abstract:
The development of healthy female sexuality is a complex and multidimensional process. In understanding female adolescent sexual development, we must understand both the suppression and the celebration of female desire in its historical and structural contexts. Feminist theorists have long studied the suppression of desire and connected that desire to both subjectivity and agency. However, desire remains an elusive concept. This chapter reviews the history of desire and sexual freedom, looks at three historical and institutional influences over adolescent sexual desire (gender inequality, education, and the media), and then interrogates the idea of sexual agency to understand how adolescents and young women conceive of sexual agency today in a neoliberal context. The chapter ends with suggestions for practice, education, and activism to help promote healthier female sexual development.

Abstract:
Studies on women identity in the context of gender yields significant results, especially when considering the practice of cinema. Mainstream cinema is an essential area of indicators for handling women's identity. Susuz Yaz and Yılanların Öcü films are two important films in which Metin Erksan dealt with the concept of property within his filmography. These two films, which address the concept of property through the ownership of land and water, also represented the social existence of women's identity with the rural lifestyle in particular, making the social structure in which women are perceived as property visible. In this context, the study evaluates the image of the woman in cinema on the concepts of body, property and rights. The method approach shaped its roots from the foundations of sociology, communication and cultural theories. The subject was presented by analyzing it within the perspective of interpretive social science. It was concluded that the debate on whose property the land and water are also raised the discussion of the property of women's identity.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses the career of Felicia Hemans, one of the first women writers to achieve widespread fame as a mass-market poet. I begin with an overview of the revolution in print that corresponded with the span of Hemans’s career, 1808 to 1835. While Hemans’s poems might have made their first appearance in books or periodicals priced at one shilling or more, they were among the most frequently reprinted content in periodicals and newspapers aimed at broad audiences that included working-class and lower-middle-class readers. In the second part of this chapter, I use Hemans’s poem ‘The Better Land’ as a case study for exploring how the practice of reprinting enabled the dissemination of her work to mass-market audiences and niche readerships. In the third section of this chapter, I explore the history of American reprintings of Hemans’s poetry, highlighting how she negotiated the lack of international copyright protection for British authors in order to harness new markets abroad. I close the chapter by exploring a posthumously published poem, ‘To My Own Portrait.’ Its circulation in memorials after Hemans’s death tells us much about emergent visual print culture, which defined the ‘poetess’ as both a celebrity author and a pictorial image.
