Description: There is a trope of women who use charm ? if not sexual allure ? to gain wealth and social position. Media, society, and authoritative voices portray women as stylish and scheming, manipulative and ambitious. Outside the private sphere, women?s success and their achievements become tainted. These uppity women, whether in popular culture or politics, are punished for their temerity and face ruination. Why? Let?s explore this enduring representation and talk about what is really going on. Facilitator: Reema Faris
