Abstract


Sylvia Kafehsy 

Indescribably Feminine

Why have female stereotypes – Marilyn Monroe, for instance – become so attractive once again? How do these images reproduce themselves, thus defining an ideal image of woman? Can feminism and gender studies provide images with equal emotional power requiring no intellectual reflection?

Starting from these questions, the article highlights the yearnings, wishes, and desires of present Western societies. It calls for a more dynamic understanding of gender in the description and analysis of these images and their antinomies.
