Rebecca WatsonAs Oprah has proven many times over, there's a lot of money to be made by appealing to the more gullible among female consumers. Rebecca will give an overview of the most popular brands of pseudoscience marketed specifically to women, from the Law of Attraction to magical cosmetics to the dangers of anti-vaccination myths.
