In the “Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath which is about a young woman and her struggles in New York City, starting her career but faces traditions and options that may not be ideal for her. The main character Esther is becoming a women in the mid 20th Century, she has many women in her life who show her all her options on who she can become. One being her boss at the magazine that she works at, Jay Cee. Jay Cee is viewed as this woman who is all work and has no mind for her appearance. For example “She looked terrible ,but wise”(pg 36). She is known to be very wise and strict to a fair extent. She is the best at what she does but isn’t expected to be seen as beautiful. Jay Cee’s characteristics being smart, kind, strict, fair, professional and moral, she values professionalism. Esther views her as her ‘best choices possible future role model, especially in a world where women with great careers will lose all that after marriage. I personally view her as starting point, women can be both beautiful and about their careers. It also not fair to judge appearances and to be so vain in a time about women’s fight for equality. For women to have a great example like Jay Cee in a moment when even the company is being controversial, such as presenting material items that are all for appearance to women who need different resources to start the careers they wish to proceed.
