Adolescence and the risk of stereotypes: real women have curves (2002)

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: The film Real Women Have Curves addresses the stereotypes of beauty and behaviour as regards women, especially Latin women, and the reaction of an adolescent who intent on her own decisions. It portrays certain undue types of action regarding the problem of obesity and the difficulties and risks of certain “devaluing” messages. It also deals with the problems of women who have to work in inadequate job surroundings because the textile industry, and many others, use the mechanism of “tertiarizing” their work to sidestep union rules, thereby failing to guarantee the protection of women’s health.
