Madonna

A detailed Summary of Madonna

Who comes to mind as the creator and developer of female sexual freedom in the past 20 years? Most would answer with one name: Madonna. When Madonna was asked where she wanted to go with her career she replied " I want to rule the world". Madonna meant that she wants to change things for women in America. Madonna didn't exactly rule the world but according to many aroudn the world she has made a huge impact on the lives of many women.

"Her power was in her arrival; he rmost important characteristic was her ambition, blonde or otherwise, and the perception that although she came with nothing-she already had it all" ( Nelson 2)

Madonna's drive for power, and Ambition to make females and males equal in all senses is one of the many reasons why Madonna is an excellent icon. She has shown many women that attempting to put men and women on the same level is the only way to gain equality among both sexes.

" This in the Madonna that teenage girls aspired to be, the funky dresser and great dancer who wrote playful, upbeat hits and relished the potential of her life. She also desired sex without concern for her 'reputation', and wasn't looking for a husband to fatten her bank account- no small feats for a teenager navigatin

" Its probably the more obvious thing- that you go through life, I mean our generation certainly has been encouraged to grab life by the balls, be super-independent, get a great aducation, follow our dreams, kick ass, all that stuff. I feel like Ii woke up one day holding the golden rings and realized that smart, sassy girl who accomplishes a lot, and have their own cash and are independent are really frightening men."( Madonna)

" She is an ideal icon, her skillful stage act, image and music combining to make an oddly innocent pop phenomenon, harking back to the flirtatious glamour of earlier times: it was an illusion then, more so now; but she seems likely to endure one way or another. (McGregor 4)

Madonna is promoting that all people; men, women, and kids go out into the world with an ambitious attitude. She brought a new and different voice to our otherwise quiete conservative culture.

Madonna has not only influenced women to be sexually expressive, but to be ambitious in everything they do in their lives. This gives women the incentive to step forward and take control of their own lives, instead of let other people push them around. Madonna's ambition and self-assurance is what drives people to be mesmerized by Madonna's undeniable force.

Although Madonna sometimes takes on an extremely masculine role, it appears that she is still very lady-like and feminine. This not only gains the support of women, but many gay and lesbian activists. " Madonna dissolves boundaries between gay subculture and main stream culture- thus you do not have to be gay to vogue, nor do you have to be straight ti be a Femme Fatale. (Hundly 1)
