I have maintained the notion that media and accessibility have affected girls self-image even before reading this passage. From their conception, media outlets like movies and magazines have portrayed the ideal woman’s look and figure and have played a major part in developing pop-culture and fashion “fads”. In recent years, with the development of social media, the accessibility to the success and looks of others has been multiplied. Gone are the days of the “prettiest girl in town” when after a few keystrokes on Instagram, the prettiest girl from every town in the world is available to view and for young girls to make comparisons to.
