California first lady Maria Shriver partnered with CCLP, the Center for American Progress and TIME magazine on A Woman’s Nation, a multifaceted project taking an empirical look at the status of American women today. A Woman’s Nation included roundtables, a national poll, interviews with icons of the women’s movement and other prominent leaders, and publication of The Shriver Report, combining the findings of economists and academics.

The Shriver Report features the essay “Sexy Socialization- Today’s media and the next generation of women” authored by CCLP senior fellow Cinny Kennard, CCLP faculty fellow Stacy Smith, Ph.D., and CCLP graduate fellow Amy Granados.
