Mudflap Girl
In 1971, an iconic image of a silhouetted woman started appearing on truck mudflaps. Mudflap Girl has at different times been considered a reflection of male self-image, symbolic of declining family values, and a feminist figure. What is her story? And most mysteriously, who is she?
Strawberry Pie
