Without her persistent guidance, encouragement, and help in the past three and half years, this dissertation would not have been possible. I place on record my sincere gratitude to my wonderful committee members, Dr. Lisa Duke, Dr. Robyn Goodman, and Dr. Florence Babb; I am extremely grateful and indebted to every one of them for their expertise and valuable advice. In addition, special thanks are given to Dr. C.K. Shih, who gave me tremendous assistance and guidance during the dissertation process. I want to thank Dr. Michelle Wolf of San Francisco State University, who introduced me to academic research and inspired my pursuit toward a doctoral degree as well as my research interest in women and beauty. I would like to thank the staffers at the graduate division, especially Jody, Kim, and Sarah, for their wonderful service and great support. I want to thank my dear friends and fellow PhD students at UF who have made my life here in Gainesville so much more meaningful and memorable. I must express my endless appreciation to my parents Dahong Zhang and Shuhua Li.
