“It is literally impossible to be a woman” – Gloria, the Barbie movie

This quote in a monologue from the recent hit Barbie movie is one that resonated with many people and sparked an ongoing conversation about societal expectations on women. 

While the film may have stirred debate, it’s fair to say it definitely explored the themes of what it means to be a woman today. Just like the characters in the movie, real-life women navigate a landscape filled with barriers and expectations.
