Abington to host first area screening of 'Miss Representation'

Like drawing back a curtain to let light stream in, the documentary "Miss Representation" details a glaring reality we live with but might fail to see: how the media contributes to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The 90-minute film, rated for children over age 14, will be shown at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, in Room 112 Woodland Building at Penn State Abington. Admission is $5; free to students, faculty and staff. Register at [email protected] or call 215-881-7800.
