    Heroine, a woman admired or idealized for her courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. The movie Daisies directed by Věra Chytilová in 1966 is filled with copious amounts of symbolism and characteristics of the Czech New Wave film style. While the elements of consumption and destruction are some of the most prominent themes discussed by filmmakers, I believe it is the collaging and fragmentation of the editing in relation to the feminist ideology and thought process that stood out the most in this film. Following the credits at the start of the movie and the clips of bombs exploding, Daisies opens up with a very pivotal and crucial scene to the movie.…

Analyzing the way each author presents their argument, it becomes evident that the iconic image instilled in women causes their destruction.…

    In Marge Piercy’s narrative poem, “Barbie Doll”, the story of a young girl is told from the viewpoint of an outside speaker watching her grow up around the norms of society and ultimately ends her life because of it.

    Dolls in the early ‘50s and ‘60s came with accessories and garments that heavily symbolized adulthood. Accessories that included bras, girdles, and garters that “allowed young women to anticipate the structured and difficult-to-wear undergarments of the era”.

Messages that the doll projects for little girls teaches them to be grown and prepares them for roles as female adult consumers. The original 1959 Barbie doll was modeled after a German doll from a comic strip named “Bild Lilli”.…
