Representation of females in Sex and the City: The movie……


…..In Sex and the City Sarah Jessica Parker plays Carrie Bradshaw. The character of Carrie Bradshaw is shown as an image obsessed woman who must buy herself all the latest designer handbags and shoes to feel complete. Her three friends mean the world to her, they are always there for each other and always willing to help each other out. She is also a writer for a living, This representation of her shows her in an extremely positive feminist view, the fact that she has a career and is able to buy the things she wants for herself shows a very independent side to her, however Carrie is man-dependant as she came to New York in search for and her love Mr Big, which shows that she has to have a man in her life. When Big leaves her standing alone on her wedding day her life falls apart emphasising that she is nothing without him, suddenly all her independency disappears and all that is left is a heartbroken women with the inability to be happy without a man.
