So the question to be asked here, is just how did she affect the lives of women of her time? “Lady Lindy” was an unstoppable force, until she vanished off the face of the earth.
However, our species also survived because women were giving birth and raising children. Something I think all of us with lady parts can agree is way harder and a hell of a lot more painful. Anyways, this question can’t really be answered without defining what “power” is and that is fairly impossible to do. Either way, girls rule and boys’ drool, but my opinion may be a tad biased… What spoke to me most in the article was the fact that the list itself can be considered sexist since there is no list of 100 Most Powerful Men. The fact that the list “reflects the traditionally male-centric value system by which the world values success” as opposed to a women-centric value system can also be considered sexist.
Chirban targets parents and coaches that are unfortunately pushing young children into doing so. As a highly educated woman with a doctorate’s degree, there is no hesitation that her information may be invalid. Be that as it may, as a witness to a teammate who has developed herself into a sport with no consequences, it is assumed that Chirban is mistaken to signify that training intensively for a single sport is baneful. The main concern throughout the article is the damage that can be done to children who over train in a particular sport. But can specializing in a particular sport really have consequences?

There are specific points that she hits throughout the video. The first thing she goes into is that she is a highly successful bestselling author that everyone feels sorry for and tells her she is doomed. Like many great pieces of work there is always one that is considered one’s masterpiece. Eat, Pray, Love is considered Elizabeth’s masterpiece.

Throughout the opening scene of the movie, the director has immediately introduced gender stereotype with fast flashing shots of the main character, Andy, and other models getting ready. This film technique assists in contrasting between a working class women and a model; which illustrates fantasy and reality. Through the use of music, Frankel has successfully established gender stereotype in women with the lyrics ‘Suddenly I see, this is what I want to be’, while showing shots of glamorous models changing, eating their small portions and putting make-up on; this implies that this is the way all women want to be.

Perhaps if Hollie Avil had received the appropriate praise for being the Junior World and European champion in 2007, she would have had the strength to overcome her anorexia before it resulted in stress fractures in both her shins.
