I Died For Beauty  I died for beauty, but was scarce Adjusted in the tomb, When one who died for truth was lain In an adjoining room.
 * Beauty in American Society**

He questioned softly why I failed? "For beauty," I replied. "And I for truth - the two are one; We brethren are," he said.

And so, as kinsmen met a-night, We talked between the rooms, Until the moss had reached our lips, And covered up our names.

Emily Dickinson

Quote by How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents "i was a girl who could pass as American, with soft blue eyes and fiar skin... She lifted her bangs-her face was delicate like a ballerina's. it struck her impersonally as if it were a judgment someone else was delivering, someone American and important, like Dr.Fanning: she was pretty" (p.181.)

This Dove advertisement was meant to instill the idea that all women are beautiful, no matter their age, size, shape, or skin color.

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou  Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
