- The author argues that the media are assaulting on women by distorting stories about women and that these stories sell because they play to the fears of affluent women. Her topics include: negative representations of working mothers: stories stressing the perils of childcare and divorce: media treatment of powerful political figures: sex and death-obsessed tales of pretty, white girls and women. Rivers also considers debates about male and female brainpower and the claim that the attention paid to girls in schools is ruining boys’ chances for achievement.
