Notas del editor
What is our definition of beauty?Which is a more realistic portrayal?Can we relate these images to past/present stereotypes? (ex. busty and sexy on the right)
Important to note that she doe not identify her specific sexual orientationDoes this portrayal strengthen or debunk stereotypes- does this empower or inhibit “latinas”
Does the ability to have kids affect someone’s femininity?Differentiate from female traits, or womanly traits
