In this research we aim to investigate the “discourses of difference” that emerge in the advertising realm and bring representations of different bodies. To do so, we have adopted the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis to examine Avon’s advertising campaign “She owns this beauty”, featuring non-hegemonic bodies – black, transsexual, plus size, and disabled – and which is also available in a version with accessibility. The theoretical discussions on female empowerment, non-normative body, and social inclusion are based on Fairclough, McRobbie, Hoff, León, among others.
