Dear
Lucy,
I'm
assuming that we are talking
about Madonna the pop star not
the Virgin Mary? If yes, then
I certainly agree that Madonna
is a feminist pioneer. She has
always been exactly who she
wanted to be and has allowed
that to be fluid throughout
her life. She has proved that
women aren't one thing, but
many things. And she has opened
up different choices to women.
For instance, she proved that
being sexual and sexy was powerful
rather than being a symbol of
giving into society's limited
expectations of women. Madonna's
example of saying yes to sex
and power and to pushing at
barriers is a great example
for other women, and men.
As
for her musical career, that
too is inspiring. Even her lyrics
are feminist and give proof
to women's strengths. She hasn't
conformed. Yes, today she is
powerful enough that she doesn't
have to, but all along she has
been true to herself.
