This image represents what some refer to as post feminism. That is, they feel that they have achieved what is necessary within society and the workplace, and that they can now behave as they wish, which for some involves becoming stay at home mums, leaving the workplace after having kids, or using their femininity to get ahead within the workplace. Whilst some feminists feel that this is backtracking on the progress that has already been made, other women feel that the very fact they have the choice about whether or not to work and in which jobs etc suggests that they have achieved what they set out for.
