Meaning
This can be taken to mean that self-image is a site of pressure as much as of possibility. It suggests women are often expected to measure themselves against an ideal, and the wish for change turns inward before it reaches the outside world. It lands in conversations about aging, beauty standards, or the tension between who someone is and who she is told to be.
