Jean Kilbourne


Jean Kilbourne's film series 'Killing us Softly' started in 1979. She is well recognised for her work on the image of women in advertising. I have been watching her videos over the last year or so. She explores the connection between advertising and different public health issues. Not only do I admire her knowledge and dedication to such a severe issue, but I love how incredible her talks are. She captures a diverse audience and presents them with familiar images but a new way of interpreting them.
