Medusa's beauty secrets [videorecording] / Kathleen Forrest, Cheri Gulke, and Sue Maberry. [1988]

"Medusa's beauty secrets is a tongue-in-cheek look at the myths of women, beauty, and power which are perpetuated by society and the media. The tape layers several elements: a critique of popular commercial images set against the Medusa legend, a narrative in which dancer Marion Scott is transformed into Medusa through a visit to a beauty salon, and a prose reading by Terry Wolverton."--Press release.
