    “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” we say to ourselves as we leer into the twisted mirror that portrays the one thing we do not want to see. Ourselves. The concept of beauty is an ideology that has been present throughout history. Beauty is ever-changing, and as a society, we grow as do our thoughts and our notion of beauty itself.

    Power is a very particular thing and can be produced in a multitude of ways. The three texts The Argonauts, Les Guerilleres, and Dictee show this in numerous ways.
