Feminism

Example:

Uglies- Scott Westerfeld





The books' about a girl named Tally Youngblood who is suppose to turn pretty until her best friend Shay decides to runaway. Then Special Circumstances finds out that Shay ran away. They said if Tall doesn't find Shay, then they won't turn her pretty. So Tally has to decided whether to turn Shay in or never turn pretty.
Summary:
Tally Youngblood lives in a city where 16-year-olds receive an operation that makes them pretty. She is only a couple weeks away from joining her friend Peris in Pretty Town. While she is waiting to become 16, she meets Shay. Shay decides she doesn't want to become pretty and runs off to the Smoke, leaving Tally some clues. Just before her operation, she is threatened by Specials. She is to bring Shay back or never become pretty. Tally goes on a 7-day trip to the Smoke. There she falls in love with David, but accidentally activates a tracker that she brought with her. After breaking out of Special Circumstances, Tally decides to volunteer in testing an anti-pretty pill. She returns back to the city to end the story.
My Analysis:

The center of this story are women who lives in a society where everyone were born ugly. Tally youngblood is a rebel against society's enforced conformity. She really want to be beautiful and move out from Uglyville. When she found a new friends, she undergo a surgery which makes her beautiful inside and out. It shows here how Tally fought for her rights and it describes the Feminism theory.
