Every month, five million-plus women peel back the slick cover of their favorite magazine to thumb through pages filled with tidings and advice about fashion, beauty, sex, relationships, dieting, health, and lifestyle. But do women s magazines offer valuable information, or do they merely peddle fluff and fantasyand in either case, do women take their messages to heart?\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eAirbrushed Nation, \u003c\/em\u003e Jennifer Nelsona longtime industry insiderexposes the naked truth behind the glossy pages of women s magazines, both good and bad. Nelson delves deep into the world of glossies, explaining the ways in which these magazines have been positive for women, highlighting the ways in which their agendas have been misguided, and asking the questions that have long gone unasked: What do women think and believe about the retouched photos, the ubiquitous sex advice, the constant offensive on aging, and the fantasy fashion spreads featuring unaffordable clothing and accessories? Do the unrealistic ads, images, and ideals that permeate glossies damage women s self-esteem . . . and is it intentional?\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJennifer Nelson\u003c\/strong\u003e has been writing for women's magazines for nearly fifteen years.
