Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Englische Philologie), language: English, abstract: The twenty-first century heroine fights in a Prada dress, in the jungle of big cities, not for world peace but for bargain buys.
