Reflection-Ideal+Woman

On this wall I show the examples of the ideal woman throughout the generations. I first begin with the Barbie being the ideal woman. Many believe that Barbie has explained the American character. She is a skinny-blonde, with big breasts and a small waist. Most Americans have given her the role of being the example of the Ideal American woman. Next, I move to Maryiln Monroe. To most of the American society she is known to be the most beautiful woman to ever live. She was seen to be the ideal American woman at one point in time. I have connected a quote from The Great Gatsby that talks about the famous image of Maryiln Monroe and her white dress blowing up in the wind. I then move to the most recent generation. I give two very different examples of the ideal woman. Many believe that Angelina Jolie has been to seen to the ideal American woman. She is one the most beautiful woman living today; with her full lips, skinny body, and gorgeous husband, many have called her "the woman they wish they could be." Finally, I have shown Miley Cyrus has being the "new" Ideal American Woman. Even though she is only 15 years old, Miley Cyrus has made a big name for herself. She is the role-model to all young girls. She lives the life every girl wished she lived; her own T.V show, a platinum recording artist, a fashion designer...she has truley become the Ideal American Woman. I finish my wall with a poem by Anne Sexton. Here she speaks of the beautiful, Snow White, she writes the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and I believe that Snow White can be seen as "the woman" in her society.
