# Saucy Feminist Cartoons These Illustrations Depict the Internal Life of a Modern Woman By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-woman References: [metro](http://metro.co.uk/2015/09/01/these-illustrations-nail-being-a-woman-in-2015-5370340/) & [cecile-dormeau.tumblr](http://cecile-dormeau.tumblr.com/) The modern woman eats what she wants, wears what she wants and knows the importance of a selfie. That's what these [little comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alterego-the-official-comic) by French artist Cecile Dormeau illustrate. On the cartoonist's [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign) page, hilariously titled 'Blob,' visitors will find colorful, playful images of a modern woman in her natural habitat. Some of the illustrations make fun of media concepts and day-to-day insults targeted at women, as in the comic depicting a woman's "Resting Bulldog Face." Others show the modern woman boldly flaunting social stigma, like the image of a woman wearing a [tiny string bikini top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) with large middle finger symbols for panels. Some of the comics are just silly and exuberant, like the woman flying naked through the air on the back of a shark, and some are comically honest, like the one of a girl sitting on the beach, each of her three stomach rolls wearing a matching pair of sunglasses. The delightful illustrations are a pleasure to scroll through -- a bold encapsulation of the modern woman's experience of life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Body Positivity:** Opportunity to disrupt beauty standards and promote inclusivity in the fashion and media industry. - **Feminist Media:** Opportunity to create empowering content that challenges stereotypes and promotes gender equality. - **Humorous Illustrations:** Opportunity to use humor as a tool for social commentary and addressing relevant issues. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunity to create inclusive and body-positive clothing lines that cater to diverse body types. - **Media and Entertainment:** Opportunity to produce and distribute feminist media that challenges existing narratives and promotes gender equality. - **Art and Illustration:** Opportunity to use illustrations as a medium to address social issues and convey powerful messages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Satirical Feminist-Forward Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Destigmatizing Period Comical Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-period-kit-2.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md)
