Abstract:
The media has a vital role in formulating femininity as a social construct. It serves as a guide to tell the society how women should dress up, think and act. However, women are mainly covered by media not on the basis of how they perform in their personal and professional lives but rather, what happens to them when some untoward incidents take place, when they are victims. We look at women through the prisms carved by media representations only to find how such depictions compartmentalize certain chosen (or doomed) images for women to fit in and finally, how their cumulative effect works against the construction of a pluralistic society.
