On the first page of Susan Douglas The Rise Of The Bionic Bimbo, she stated two things that inspired me. She stated" This backlash made me more committed to feminism than ever, and eager to shed many-but not all-of the holdover of the 1960s femininity". This statement inspired me because she is a survival of how women were treated back in the days, and she is ready to fight to get whatever it belongs to them. What people said about feminism didn't matter to her at all but rather what they said gave her the courage, and even made her more stronger to fight more, to fight back and get the freedom and rights that she and her fellow women deserved.
Secondly, she stated"What was different, however, about the 1970s was that now millions of women had a sense that it was their right and responsibility to deconstruct these images even as they felt their pull". In my understanding, women now knew that it was time to take control of themselves. It was time to tell men that they have the rights to do whatever that fits them, they have the right to make their own choices without their control. Also they wanted to tell men that they can make their own life decision. These two inspired me because women fought hard to get where they are now, so we are all capable of doing things on our own.
