No matter how much progress is made, there always seems to be an expectation for women to take on certain roles in society. The femme fatale, a popular female persona during the film noir era of the 1920s, was characterized as an often beautiful and always mysterious woman, whose charm ensnares men into compromising situations. By the 1960s, women were portrayed as constantly happy homemakers, teachers, and nurses. While it has become more and more common to see women taking on roles that are traditionally associated with men today, I often find myself wondering: “why can’t we do it all?”
Girlboss: Powerful and Empowered aims to answer this question. And yes, they can do it all. Women from all backgrounds share their thoughts and experiences on what it means to be a woman today. It focuses on a particular and personal aspect of each of their lives that make them feel the most comfortable, powerful, and empowered. Each image is accompanied by a short booklet that deep-dives into the lives and beliefs of the subject, as they share their hardships, accomplishments, and future goals as the next generation of influential women.
