Faking It

Author: Selena Ewing  Editor: Melinda Tankard Reist

Do you read women's lifestyle magazines?  Know someone who does?  Have you thought about how magazines might affect you when you read them?  While millions of women around the world seem to lap up the magazines' mix of fashion, sex, relationship advice and product promotion, Faking It takes a more cautious and critical view.

Faking It reflects the body of academic research on magazines, mass media, and the sexual objectification of women.
