Abstract

This piece addresses the many stereotypes and expectations that society forces onto women, along with the true strengths I believe all women possess. On the black background, the statements in white font are the many expectations society forces onto women. The figure in the foreground is a woman. In her hair lies strengths, along with statements that exemplify what I believe all women across the globe personify. Additionally, I added flowers growing out of her head because women have the power to create and to give the world something beautiful. The flowers portray the growth and the potential of all women. Furthermore, I added statements in the piece such as “I can teach you” and “I can learn from you” because I believe men and women can combine their strengths and realize these traits are not “masculine” or “feminine” traits, but rather characteristics that all human beings can and should possess. By listening to each other, we can learn from one another and shape the path to a better future for both men and women.
