When you picture the ideal woman in you're head what is the impression you have? Is she a mother? Is she fragile and shy? Strong and independent? Or Is she there to stay at home to clean your house an cook a meal for dinner. The dictionary defines a woman as The female human being but living in today's society many stereotypes have arose.

A woman is a worker. In the 1950's she was a stay at home house cleaner. June Cleaver from the popular t.v. sitcom "Leave it to Beaver" will always and forever be the epitome of a perfect housewife. She was beautiful, organized, and always had a smile on her face when her husband came home. By the 60's and 70's women gained their independence and started to enjoy free life. They could believe in whatever they wanted, speak out about whatever they wanted, and loved whoever they wanted. By the 80's more women were in the workforce more then ever. It was common to be a hardworking, and make you're own money. And by the 90's and the new millennium we were becoming CEO's of major cooperation and businesses.

A woman is a caregiver. It is something that is given to us at birth, the need to nurture one another. An example of this is motherhood. I think this is where the weakness and fragile stereotype comes from. A child needs someone gentile and soft to watch over them, and that job usually is given to the women. She is expected to always depend on her children and make sacrifices for them rather then her own. With this burden on our shoulders we are automatically associated with children, and lose our own identity.

A woman has rare beauty. A beauty though, that comes in all sorts. It could be in her independence, the way she carries herself, in her face, or in the clothes she wears.It is only when you see a woman comfortable in her own skin that she radiates the up most beauty. When self conscious is a predominate feature a girl's status lowers, and she is looked down upon among her peers as an inferior human being. Society plays such a big role in this stereotype that girls are willing to risk their lives to fit in. We must except the fact that we will never fit into a certain mold like people want us too. Females are given a special gift in which we are able to express ourselves how ever we want, it is whether or not we chose to accept and embrace this that results in beauty.

Being a woman is a profound and special thing. We are tough when the tough gets going, and we are the elegance and grace in the world. It is society's view points, however that change this. It is only when you are comfortable with yourself that you have truly reached the definition of a woman. No one can define you, me, her, or us, other then ourselves.

When you picture the ideal woman in you're head what is the impression you have? Is she a nurturing mother? Is she fragile and shy? Strong and independent? Or Is she there to stay at home to clean your house an cook a meal for dinner. The obvious definition looks at a woman as the female human being but living in today's society many stereotypes have arose.

//A woman is a worker//. In the 1950's she was a stay at home house cleaner. June Cleaver from the popular t.v. sitcom "Leave it to Beaver" will always and forever be the epitome of a perfect housewife. She was beautiful, organized, and always had a smile on her face when her husband came home. By the 60's and 70's women gained their independence and started to enjoy free life and free love. They could believe in whatever they wanted, speak out about whatever they wanted, and loved whoever they wanted. By the 80's more women were in the workforce then ever. It was common to be a hardworking, and make you're own money. And by the 90's and the new millennium we were becoming CEO's of major cooperation and businesses, less and less woman were giving birth and starting to live for themselves. The idea of without question having children became less set in stone.

We are tough when the tough gets going, and we are the elegance and grace in the world.They are who endured the struggles and physical feats to bring us into the world. It is society's view points, however that change this. We are viewed merely as someone to look at. Used as the image of a sex objects at times, scary with our mood swings during others.

XD Alright, It's Jasmine~ I love your opening paragraph so much I kinda wanna copy the format! Now you have your good start with your first body paragraph but I think you should go with how the stereotype of a woman has stuck through out all of history. Also mention in the 1940's during WWII when women basically had to run the workforce of the whole country! And I like your honest frustration~ I would do that on my page but I think I would get in trouble for it not be school-rated or related >-<

﻿Megan- I thought this paper was really good, and not very biased which would've been easy to do. I really like the paragraphs about mothers and beauty. Especially when you talked about girls risking their lives to fit in, and accepting that we won't fit into a certain mold. And I looved the closing paragraph. The last two lines were a really good way to end it with the reader left thinking about what the definition of a woman is in their eyes.
