Summary

Since time immemorial, men have objectified women. While Helen of Troy is immortalized as “the face that launched a thousand ships,” no one ever asks whether she even wanted to be rescued.1 Likewise, Vanna White is the face that created a television empire, but no one gives her any credit. Instead, she is ridiculed as a living Barbie doll, a caricature of femininity. She may be a millionaire, but she “can’t win for losing.”
