Since the Miss America Pageant was established in 1921, conceptions of the beauty of American women have been based, in part, on the winner of this pageant. Sarah Banet-Weiser writes in her book, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, that “the woman selected as Miss America apparently 'represents' the nation” (Banet-Weiser 56). As a result of representing the American nation, the winner of the Miss America pageant is looked up to as a model for style and beauty among women. Since its inception, the Miss America pageant has come under attack from feminist organizations for exploiting women's bodies despite the fact that it is a scholarship program; the pageant rewards contestants a scholarship for continuing education based on their responses in the interview and the talent portions of the pageant as well as their performance in the swimsuit competition. A beauty pageant, such as the Miss USA pageant, is strictly concerned with a woman's outer beauty and does not include the talent or interview portions.

Media outlets during the post-identity era would depict women in the workplace but did not underline any of the issues they faced in corporate America such as doubt and sexual harassment. In a scene from “Legally Blonde” Elle is having a discussion with Warner on how much harder law school will be when she’s taking on both classes and Callahan’s (her professors) internship to which he exclaims, “Oh, Elle, you’re never gonna get the grades to qualify for one of those spots.” Warner believes that woman can not posses such feminine qualities and still be successful which illustrates Elle’s struggle to be taken seriously in corporate America. Her character is combating the image of feminine women not being able to excel in such a respectable career fields (lawyer). In another incident Elle deals with a common issue “feminine” women deal with in the workplace, sexual harassment. She encounters this problem when her professor, Callahan, attempts to make a sexual proposition toward her so she can guarantee a spot on next year 's summer internship. Elle is completely taken aback by Callahan 's offer and handles it in a realistic way when she becomes so uncomfortable and discouraged that she contemplates quitting law school. These two scenes demonstrate how women are not exposed to the same working environment as men and the negative effect
Bullock and McCarthy worked well cast alongside each other in this first female action comedy crime cop buddy. The two actresses adapted nicely in their differing characters, showing that no matter how different their approaches to law enforcement may be, their independent and strong natures effortlessly brought in laughs and attitudes towards each other. The smart costumes designed by Catherine Marie Thomas, creatively reinforced the characters’ personalities in the beginning of the film, but naturally changed as the F.B.I. agent and detective began accepting each other at times of the other’s crazy

In the beginning of her speech, the actress explains that she was struck by a letter from a fan, who wrote about her contemplation on purchasing skin bleaching cream; until Nyongo “appeared on the world map” and saved her (Butler 3). In Maxine Leeds Craig’s book Aint I a Beauty Queen?: Black Women, Beauty, and the Politics of Race, she explains that depictions of strong willed women “usually presented in a sympathetic light” are limiting in the entertainment industr...
Lastly, the film the Silence of the Lambs has a symptomatic meaning. It reflects the theme of how women in the workplace in our modern society are accurately portrayed, and how even though Clarice was a great fit for an FBI agent, she was always put off to the side and talked down to. Overall, even though I am not a big fan of thrillers like this, I definitely enjoyed watching and depicting the film, as it was a film that displayed accurate examples and themes how a women in a man’s world is most likely
The movie does not do Miss O?Shaughnessey justice as the novel very well does. In the novel, she is portrayed as a young, voluptuous, beautiful woman. Although she is somewhat beautiful in the movie, she does not reach the standards that are set for her in the novel. The legs that Sam Spade sees as she enters his office offer an idea as to what kind of person Miss O?Shaughn...
