About this listen
This book is a bold exploration of image, identity, and resistance.
Why does the media constantly reduce women to their bodies? Why are girls taught to be pretty before they’re taught to be powerful? And what does it cost us—all of us—when worth is measured in skin and likes?
In Behind the Glare, we pull back the curtain on a culture that profits from the sexualization of women and girls. Through history, storytelling, media analysis, and personal reflection, this book exposes the systems that shaped how we see women—and how women see themselves.
From the golden age of Hollywood to the age of Instagram, from pop culture icons to everyday influencers, we break down the myths and messages that have shaped a global gaze. But this isn’t just a critique—it’s a guide for unlearning, healing, and reclaiming.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, creator, student, or simply someone tired of being told your body is your only currency, this book is for you.
Real beauty isn’t in the glare of a spotlight. It’s in the clarity of truth. Let’s step out of the frame—and rewrite the story.
