Negative and sexual media depictions of women are assailed by an array of prominent women, including Katie Couric, Jane Fonda, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Cal.), Margaret Cho, Lisa Ling, Rachel Maddow, former PBS president Pat Mitchell and Gloria Steinem, and several men, including Newark, N.J., mayor Cory Booker and California lieutenant governor Gavin Newsom, the husband of director Jennifer Siebel Newsom., In 2010, women are better represented on television, in movies and in the news media than they have ever been in the past. However, while this increased visibility had led many believe that women have achieved something like equality, the truth is women have a long way to go before they achieve anything close to parity, as women count for only seventeen percent of elected officials in Congress and seven percent of working directors of feature films. Actress turned filmmaker Jessica Congdon Newsom studies the obstacles women face in the media and the stereotypes that still define them in the documentary Miss Representation. Featuring interviews with noted figures in politics (Nancy Pelosi and Condoleeza Rice), broadcast news (Katie Couric and Rachel Maddow), television (Margaret Cho and Lisa Ling) and movies (Geena Davis, Rosario Dawson and Jane Fonda), Miss Representation explores the glass ceiling that many women in the media still struggle to break and the double standards applied to women in terms of appearance and persona. Miss Representation was an official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
