For my video, I chose women in culture and looking at the different reactions we have to different types of women as we see them. There are images of women from history, entertainment, politics, and we often put them into a certain box of how we expect them to behave or who we believe they are. We commodify them and dismiss them, we are them and yet we vilify them. I also wanted to encourage thoughts about the dichotomy of these different famous faces and what might the first word or association be when we see their image?
