Oh Cathy, you’re the woman of all women! You tell us how it is. My dear, I do agree. How it is… is thrifty. ‘Tis the state of the modern lady in uncertain times. Sorry times call for strong lines.
Your bold words make me wonder just how much economic times define the modern woman. If this fad continues, the modern woman’s way of life will be changing as much as her choice of shoes. So what to make of the modern woman’s image? If my great-grandkids were to borrow books about the modern woman’s style, I don’t know if there’d be enough room to explain every style change. What a strange thought! Is there nothing that can describe the modern me? There was the 1950s mom of apple pie, the 1970s mom of free love, and now, the 2000s Brittany Spears, Coach, Target, Wal-Mart, wallets, working mom of…?

I've always enjoyed reading Cathy comments; she always has the last word and her word is law. Ahh...if only women today could leave such a lasting impression on society.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the "image" of women throughout time, I feel that the look of a decade is stereotypical. Sure, there probably were many mothers baking apple pies for their familes, but can it be assumed that all mothers were the "stay at home types?" Instead of becoming worried of my great-grandkids remarking how the 2000s did not reflect a specific "image," I'd be happy. These contemporary times call for multiculturalism--not plastic, hegemonic images.
