The Female Gaze

The Female Gaze refers to a perspective in art, film, and literature that emphasizes women's experiences, emotions, and viewpoints, contrasting with the traditional Male Gaze, which often objectifies women. It seeks to present female characters as complex individuals with agency, focusing on their desires and narratives rather than merely representing them through a male lens. The Female Gaze aims to create a more balanced and authentic portrayal of women, allowing for deeper connections and understanding of their identities and roles in society. This perspective enriches storytelling by embracing diverse viewpoints and challenging stereotypes.
