Description

Byline: Jacqueline Reis WORCESTER - Jean Kilbourne has been talking about women's images in advertising for 40 years and is perhaps more aware than anyone of the largely fictional creatures many ads feature: rake-thin, computer-enhanced "beauties" with poreless skin, the hips of a teenage boy, the legs of a flamingo and the dull stares of a sex object.
