Creation of 'femininity'

As told by Dorothy Smith:

"Women aren’t just the passive products of socialization; they are active; they create themselves. At the same time, their self-creation, their work, the uses of their skills, are coordinated with the market for clothes, make-up, shoes, accessories, etc., through print, film, etc. This dialectic between the active and creative subject and the organization of her activity in and by texts coordinating it with the market is captured here using the concept of a textually-mediated discourse."

So perfect considering I am using her theoretical perspectives to structure my paper on Gossip Girl.
