I would have to choose Marilyn Monroe. There is so much I would like to ask her. To be able to talk to such an inspiring person could help me learn a couple of things. She spoke her mind and wasn’t afraid of the outcome. There are always two sides to each story and It would be nice to hear her side of the story. Marilyn Monroe once said, “I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.” It would be an honor to meet such a beautiful and strong woman such as herself. People
This is a clear example of the inequality between the male and female, and what their roles are intended to be in society. Three Girls by Joyce Carol Oates is a story about a lesbian couple, and their observation of the behavior of a disguised Marilyn Monroe who, surprisingly to the narrator and her companion, wants to be seen as nothing more than a common person. During the progression of the story, the author provides perspective on the gender roles women faced in 1956 New York, and gives the reader
Suddenly she is pulled from her thoughts, as her friend touches her wrist and guides her further into the store to stumble upon Marilyn Monroe. From here, the “girl-poets” follow her discretely, with a commentary of how Monroe’s discretion was so much different form how she was normally seen. She was, at that moment, not a “garnish blond showgirl”, but rather “this woman was an individual wholly absorbed in selecting, leafing through, pausing to read books” (Oates, 93) They continue to follow her

What this means is, everyone is connected in one way or another, so when something happens, it affects everything in this world, from the smallest bacteria, to the largest whale and everything in between. In this following paragraph, I'm going to tell you about Melanie Martinez and how she grew up to become the singer that she is today. Melanie Martinez was born on April
√Over the last 60 years may things have changed; technology, traditions, culture, and of course the way a female is seen in eyes around the world. Television itself dates back to the 1920’s (these television sets were extremely limited during these years). In 1950, only 9 percent of American households had a television set, but by the 1960 the figure had reached 90 percent. During this time, women were introduced in a completely diverted way then a male actor. Women took stereotypical roles
all women were married. Not all women had the family so new trends started to pop up. Beauty pageants, Barbie’s and Marilyn Monroe were some of the biggest and or sexiest trends to come about. The sex appeal of women changed during this era but icons made a huge difference. They have molded what we are today and what women have evolved into. Doris Day was what an independent woman was supposed to be like. She gave that image but she was not married and she did have a sex appeal to her that was not
American actress Marilyn Monroe once said, “I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.” In Disney’s The little mermaid It is evident women are vapid and submissive because of the divisions of labour and separate spheres which is depicted through the feminist theory, the applications of Jack Campbell’s Monmouth, and Northrop Frye’s three levels of language. Firstly, Arial lacks autonomy because of the male dominated society she lives in where all power is
ambition.”-Marilyn Monroe. For years women have been striving to be equal with men, but women have been paying for it. Out of all the companies in this world, less than ten percent of all CEOs are women. When a man and a women have the same job, women tend to be paid less, and around the world women have been grouped into stereotypes. So I strongly believe that women can do anything a man can do, and that was proven over the years. Now and days women are being stereotyped by the world around them
not women are finding success in meaningful roles or continuing to serve as objects to be ogled. The Bechdel test was first made popular in Alison Bechdel’s comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For in a 1985 strip titled The Rule. In the short cartoon a woman asks her girlfriend if she wants to see a movie. The girlfriend replies, telling her she only sees movies that pass “the rule”- does it feature at least two women, with names, that talk to each other about something other than a man. From there the
of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” and viewed as “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests”. During the early 1960s, many women began to advocate for feminist rights and social equality. In 1962, Marilyn Monroe passed away, and the following year journalist Gloria Steinem auditioned undercover to become a Playboy Bunny, through which she exploited the dirty, male-run system (Cochrane, 2013). Pre-feminism, men were often in control of the actions and
