Madonna has defined the true essence of female success and confidence. She has spent the last 40 years giving her fans not just music, but a poppourri of fashion, lingerie, art, as well as sexual influence. She has been creative not just in her music, but had the privilege to be working as an actress in 22 american films. She has accomplished so much after two divorces and raising six children. She has let the world know that she will always test the limits and if people do not like it, she could careless. Now at age 64, Madonna will be preparing for her 40 year music career world tour!
FEMALE CONFIDENCE
Madonna has continued to surprise us with her unusual, creative wardrobes as well as her expression of sexuality. The inspiration she gives to many women and young girls is that you can accomplish anything no matter what people say. This has been Madonna's ongoing mantra as she defined her career. Behind the sexy lingerie, thongs, high leather boots, and sexual lyrics, we can suggest through tabloid newspapers that she was always criticised for her creativity.
Expressing sexuality in the 1980's was challenging for women. Madonna broke barriers, shocked people, and made people hate her. However, she had the musical and artistic talent to accomplish what she was able to do in that decade. She exposed the negative attitudes of women expressing their sexuality.
From the beginning of her music career, she has tested the limits. For example, singing a song about losing your virginity or wearing a corset on her other popular song was impactful! If anyone looks at her music videos, she has giving her fans a variety of 'Madonna,' in a way that she is this powerful woman that can look sexy in a sheer top, in a corset, or any lace while also appearing wearing a long dress as well as a 1940's female suit. This balance is the genius perspective of Madonna!
When you listen to her lyrics, you can sense her empowerment. One of my favourite Madonna songs: 'Human Nature' - she mentions the words --- '...oops I did not know I could talk about sex! Oops I did not know I could speak my mind!...I am not sorry! It is human nature. I am not your bitch don't hang your shit on me...!'---
I am inspired how she also says these words while wearing latex throughout the video! WHO DOES THAT!
My inspiring words from Madonna; 'We judge ourselves too much!" So, do not judge yourself! LIVE YOUR LIFE HOW YOU FEEL MAKES YOU HAPPY!
FEMINIST
Madonna has been expressed support of women and women's rights through her work. She directed the film W.E, which was based on the abdication of king Edward VIII. In fact, the key point of the story in this film was the strength of the woman Edward VIII ends up falling in love. The woman, which at that time was criticised for the abdication of the king.
Another film which Madonna acted, was 'Evita.' Here she portrayed the former Argentine First Lady Evita Peron who was cherished by her people for being a feminist fighting for female equality, woman's rights, and empowering women.
She even mentioned on Instagram Live session in September 2020, her plans for her own biopic film that it would cover “my struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world as a woman.”
EXCEEDING LIMITS
Madonna has always explored the meaning of what it means to be sexual, to be sexualized, and to sexualize oneself. And now she’s exploring what it all means as an older woman – the ultimate taboo, for many people, who think old ladies should just disappear. She knows those people might not get what she’s doing now, and will vilify her once again. And she thinks they’re squares. (Credits: Nancy Jo Sales)
“But life is quite complicated. She’s made some mistakes. She’s not perfect, she has hurt people, not everything she does is correct — and that’s a state of being human. I’m the same. The more I age and time passes, I realize that her unwavering stand for her beliefs. What she was trying to accomplish has really changed the world and produced a space. And you can’t create that space by being nice.
