| Summary: | Most development theories emphasize on disconnection from relationships. However, women's experiences contradict such separation for a complete human growth and achievement of happiness (Surrey 51-66). From this, women looked at media and social standards to achieve growth and independence. Today, the freedom of an individual is highly valued, and being self-sufficient becomes a need for internal impulses and external demands (Grogan 2). By using the Self-in-relation Women's Development theory, women are given the chance to see their total development in relation with other people. Relationships are the most basic structure for a woman's sense of self, most often seen at the very core of a mother-daughter relationship (Surrey 52). The framework of this paper outlines the use of the relational self as the main theory for women's development and to achieve contentment. Wherein, we should put little emphasis on vanity from social, cultural, and media demands (Grogan 25-57). |
