The documentary Miss Representation records the opinions of a large number of admirable and influential women. It emphasizes that the media's narrow and often contemptuous description of women not only puts more and more young girls in crisis, such as eating disorders, self-harm and depression, but also bears greater responsibility for another problem. that is, in all positions of power and influence in the United States, women are extremely underrepresented. The film also makes special reference to the disappointing concept conveyed to young girls by the media: the value of a woman depends on her youth, beauty and sexiness, not on her intention to be a leader or her leadership ability.
