Response to "Mediating Third-Wave Feminism: Appropriation as Postmodern Media Practice" by Helene A. Shugart, Catherine Egley Waggoner, and D. Lynn O'Brien Hallstein
This article speaks about the new freedoms and patterns of feminism in the 1990s. Women were finally being seen through a new light and given a different chance to promote themselves as strong, independant people. Media was changing and influencing everyone's decisions and thoughts about the situation. Singers like Alanis Morissette and supermodel Kate Moss played huge role models to the desires of this new feminism. Morisette's lyrics promoted a strong individual who can stand up for themselves and be dominant. In Kate Moss's Calvin Klein advertisements she completely shatters the normal feminist view and gives empowerment. Women everywhere were believing in themselves and recieveing the power they always wished for and fought so hard to achieve. The new feminsim was great in the sense that it promoted a celebration of one's self and recognizing diversity. The 1990's was definitely a great time of change.
