Representation Of Women In The Media

Representations of women across all media tend to highlight the following:

· beauty
· size/physique
· sexual/fragile
· emotional dealings
· relationships

However, this has now changed as women are proving they are just as equal to men and take the same roles men do, because Kill Bill Uma Thurman is represented as a hero/protagonist and is in control, as women tend to be represented as femme-fatal or a damsel in distress. Uma Thurman breaks this tradition of women just as the 'propp' of a film. However, Kill Bill isnt the only film that represents women powerful also films such as 'Charlies Angels'.
