Take a quick look at the article. Who would you side with? David Cameron or Hillary Mantel?
Take a look at the Duchess of Cambridge. Does she submit herself to the male gaze? Is the male gaze something that permeates even the class hierarchy of society? Is it so deeply imbedded that royalty are ruled by it?
What do you THINK??? If women of royal families are made to conform to a certain image of woman then does this play a role in how "normal" women feel about and define themselves? Does the Duchess of Cambridge represent something greater than herself? Or alternatively, is it the case that royal women (the arguable epitome of powerful women) have even less freedom to self-define than other women?
This is a big question!
I guess what I want to ask everyone is this:
As a woman is increasingly exposed to media coverage and successes of varying degrees, is she confined to an even greater degree than her "normal" female counterparts?
