Female power awakening—My grandmother enlights me with her personal experience

Abstract

In the eyes of many young girls, Barbie is the symbol of the perfect woman. She is like an excellent mirror, not only showing the not real female image, but also reflecting the deep aesthetic gaze of the traditional gender discipline of the society behind the current female's crazy pursuit of beauty -- having a slim figure and a beautiful face is the embodiment of the greatest value of women. Many women believe that external elements, such as beauty and sex appeal, are a way for them to build close relationships and seek social approval, thus fuelling anxiety about their body shape and appearance. When I was younger, I had the same idea that short hair made a woman less of a woman, but my grandmother, a district attorney, took action to break that stereotype. Starting from her, I also see the emergence of various female forces in the society. They do not limit their lives to the pursuit of external beauty, but carry out a continuous struggle for women's freedom from stereotypes and expectations with their actions.
