Individual Worth and Integrity

"I am a woman who is proud of her history,

aspires to use her creativity positively,

and looks forward to her future."

Rosie Molinary

The Dove company conducted a study entitled, "The Real Truth about Beauty" revealing 2 percent of women around the world thought of themselves as beautiful.  The company then began a campaign to encourage women to better define beauty.  (www.dove.us; Features and Videos; "Onslaught", "Evolution")

My photograph resource responded to a request for "Women" with snapshots of women shopping, models with high end apparel, and an overwhelming amount of bare bottoms and exposed breasts of young women.  There were a few respectful cement statues, but obviously they were not alive nor current. 

So where in our culture are women highlighted as scientists, inventors, doctors, CEO's, government or community leaders?  Where are the photos of professional women with appearances reflecting the true  diversity of women?  Women must discover and honor all aspects of themselves to present a whole impression of individual worth and personal integrity. Now that's beauty!
