Blonde, Legally Blonde

In a culture where intrinsic femininity is viewed as a weakness and the "strong woman" persona has taken over the media- Elle Woods is introduced through a haze of makeup, luxury clothing, and Cosmo magazines. Most women in the workforce and in education have been affected in the long run by Legally Blonde. The goal of "Legally Blonde" was to show that despite appearances, everyone has potential through lessons in empowerment, independence, and integrity. Woods appeared to be an ordinary college student at first glance. She dated the well-rounded and attractive Warner Huntington III while serving as president of her sorority.

Elle, though, was much more than she first seemed to be.

She was a strong-willed, independent woman who would do anything to succeed. Huntington dumped Woods after deciding to enroll in Harvard Law School because he failed to recognize her potential. He claimed to seek a new girlfriend who would be serious and successful and could uphold his new Harvard status. Elle is often overlooked when talking about the feminist icons in the movies.

Elle has no problem being authentic. Elle endures teasing at Harvard for her feminine taste and adoration of pink, but she never lets it affect how she feels about herself. She proves repeatedly that being 'girly' in no way diminishes her ability by being fearlessly loyal to herself. Women are continually pressured to hide their femininity in a male-dominated atmosphere, which implies that in order to succeed in the majority of workplaces, women must suppress their femininity. In a patriarchal environment, Elle Woods defies this assumption and makes use of her femininity to her advantage.

Despite the fact that some people don't always see the best in her, she has a positive outlook on life. Being upbeat is important, especially in a setting that tries to control you!

Today's feminists would not have achieved as much headway on concerns of justice and equality without optimism. Even though Elle Woods may not have started out with particularly feminized aspirations, she motivates women of all ages to pursue their dreams.

What Elle learns along the way is of immeasurable value. She understands how crucial it is to build her own success rather than look for approval from others. Most importantly, she realizes that she doesn't want a man's approval to be happy and learns to love herself first. Elle never compromises her individuality or her trademark blonde hair at a time when physical and behavioural makeovers were particularly common.

The path for girly females who don't necessarily exhibit masculine features has become more constrained due to this generation's fascination with strong female characters. Elle derives her power from the things she cherishes and the genuine concern with which she views the human race. Witherspoon's performance defies the shallow, superficial blonde cliche and gives us a new type of female protagonist to love for with all its contagious charm and shining positivity.

Therefore, Elle Woods is unquestionably an inspiration for feminists, and the fact that others fail to see this is what makes her tale so significant. Hollywood and society typically reject the idea that you may be conventionally attractive and feminine and still be treated seriously. Elle disproves this notion. She is the definition of the underdog and shows that success is driven by perseverance and hard work, not by what other people think of you. Elle thus challenges our preconceptions and demonstrates that strong female role models can be found wherever.
