Since 1971, an iconic image of a silhouetted woman has moved from truck mudflaps into popular culture. Mudflap Girl has at different times been considered a reflection of male self-image, symbolic of declining family values, and a feminist figure. However, even as an empowered woman, her identity has been problematic. Is she a mainstream icon or an unrealistic representation of the female form? Is she more than a single dimensional figure based on her appearance. What is her story? And most mysteriously, who exactly is she?
