Packaging Girlhood, a presentation by author Dr. Lyn Mikel Brown exposes the ways media marketers dictate what girls should look like. Dr. Brown, author of the book “Packaging Girlhood” and co-creator of the Hardy Girls Healthy Women program in Maine, will talk about her research findings and what parents and girls can do to counteract the constant barrage of media messages that encourage accessorizing over academics, sex appeal over sports, and fashion over friends.
