1) Interview addressing how Naomi Wolf looks and presents herself (5 minutes):
I am specifically interested in her rebuttal that her book doesn’t argue that looks don’t matter, it argues that women shouldn’t be coerced. I am skeptical about how much agency one has in resisting this "pressure", given the high social costs (ie: becoming an "Iron Maiden" if one resists).
2) Naomi Wolf's appearance on The Ali G Show (3 minutes):
How does this "mockumentary" satire illustrate the problems with her argument and her position as a feminist?
3) Lastly, the clip from her DVD The Beauty Myth

(especially 15 seconds in and around minute 2). Is her message getting to those who need to hear and engage with it?
