Getting Real quoted in UK government report
Added on Tuesday, March 02, 2010

A new UK government report, entitled Sexualisation of Young People: Review has used Getting Real as a source text. The exectuive summary quotes from Betty McLellan's chapter, 'Sexualised and Trivialised': "How have sex, sexiness and sexualisation gained such favour in recent years as to be the measure by which women’s and girls’ worth is judged? While it is not a new phenomenon by any means, there is something different about the way it occurs today and how it impacts on younger and younger girls."
