- Provocatively explores the relationship between a woman's body image and the quest for an idealized female form. 13 women, of varying age, size, and ethnicity, candidly reveal the ambivalence with which they regard their own bodies. Their comments on the size and shape of specific body parts are underscored by archival footage depicting beauty contests from the 1930s. Incisively illuminates the vagaries in the concept of an "ideal" body type. (Funded by the Department of Psychology) (Restricted to use on University of Washington campuses only)
