We would also like to thank the many individuals who personally contributed. They include Anna Benyo, Gretchen Borchelt, Melissa Fowler, Mara Gandal-Powers, Kim Haddow, Sharon Levin, Elizabeth Nash, Vicki Saporta, and Judy Waxman. Staff and board members of the Women’s Media Center have informed, reviewed and edited the content. They include: Michelle Kinsey Bruns, Julie Burton, Cristal Williams Chancellor, Gloria Feldt, Kate McCarthy, Gloria Steinem, and Jamia Wilson. WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER The Women’s Media Center has the goal of making women visible and powerful in media. Media are the most powerful economic and cultural force in shaping attitudes and knowledge of facts and events. By deciding who gets to talk, what issues are reported, who writes, what is important and how it is framed, the media shapes our understanding of who we are and what we can be. The Women’s Media Center works to level the playing field for women and girls through our media monitoring, training, original content and activism. Currently, we are rarely using half of our talent in this country, and only hearing half the story. We live in a racially and ethnically diverse nation that is 51 percent female, but the news media remain limited.

  • The Effect of Womenos Rights on Womenos Welfare: Evidence from A
    The e¤ect of women’srights on women’swelfare: evidence from a natural experiment Silvia Pezzini London School of Economics 11 December 2003 JOB MARKET PAPER Abstract Between the late 1960s and the 1990s vast changes in social norms and insti- tutions took place in relation to women’s rights. This paper explores the issue of whether women’srights have brought women higher welfare. Using individual level data on life satisfaction and focusing on the staggered timing of law changes on abor- tion rights in twelve European countries, I obtain an average treatment e¤ect on the treated from di¤erences-in-di¤erences. The identi…cation strategy uses the fact that exposure to women’srights varied by gender, country of residence and date of birth. I show that the extension of abortion rights is strongly linked to an increase in life satisfaction of women of childbearing age. The introduction of the pill in national public policies had an analogous e¤ect, while mutual consent divorce laws decreased women’swelfare. These …ndings are true after controlling for age e¤ects, unobserved heterogeneity across countries and time, and country-speci…c trends. It is robust to various econometric concerns. Keywords: Natural experiment, Di¤erences in di¤erences, Women’srights, Wel- fare, Life satisfaction.

  • Broadcasting Birth Control: Family Planning and Mass Media, 1914-1984
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BROADCASTING BIRTH CONTROL: FAMILY PLANNING AND MASS MEDIA, 1914-1984 Manon Sian Parry, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Professor Sonya Michel, Department of History The history of the birth control movement in the United States is traditionally told through accounts of the leaders and organizations that campaigned to legalize the distribution of contraception. Only recently have historians begun to examine the “cultural work” of printed media including newspapers, magazines, and even novels in fostering support for the cause. This dissertation builds on this scholarship, to examine the films and radio and television broadcasts developed by birth control advocates, and the communications experts they increasingly turned to for guidance, over the course of the twentieth century. As advocates tried to mimic the efforts of commercial advertisers to “sell” health-related behaviors to a wide audience, they crafted the new academic specialty of health communication. I argue that mass media was central to the campaign to transform the private subject of fertility control into one fit for public discussion in the United States. Moreover, the international family planning movement played an instrumental role in establishing and expanding health communication in the promotion of contraception around the globe. As they negotiated for access to cinema and radio platforms from which to promote their cause, birth control advocates toned down their feminist rhetoric of sexual liberation. After the legalization of contraception, censorship and broadcasting conventions affecting educational messages further diluted the kinds of representations they could promote over the radio and on the nation’s television sets. As commercial media became increasingly explicit in the 1960s and ‘70s, family planning promoters conversely expunged sex from their broadcasts for domestic and foreign audiences.

Closely reading a diverse pool of primary pornographic visual materials, across print, moving image and the internet, such as photographs, magazines, trade magazines, videos, DVDs, and internet website viewings, I argue that pornography offers an ambiguous casting of black female sexuality, simultaneously constructing the black female body as craved and contemned yet ultimately not merely other, but in-human (not woman).

Brodie was a key figure in this history from the 1930’s until the 1970’s, mainly through the establishment of family planning programs through social and medical channels in Oregon and throughout Latin America. Oregon’s reproductive legislation walked a fine line between conservatism and progressivism, but in general supported reproductive healthcare as a whole in comparison to the rest of the United States and Latin America.
