摘　　要：从18世纪至今,美国社会关于女性魅力的标准有很多不同的称谓,但其实质从未改变过。尽管人权运动和妇女解放运动使越来越多的女人积极参与到社会生活和政治领域的各个层面,女性的社会地位也随之发生了巨大的变化,但事实上,在美国这个男性中心的社会里,这些标准在不断完善和强化,至今仍然规范和控制着女性的思想和行为。由于美国高度商业化的大众媒体推波助澜,男性所设立的有关女人味、女性美和女性的社会角色等方面的标准和要求,在当今社会,尤其是在体育领域,以不同的形式影响着大众对女性角色的评判。From the 18th century to the present time, there have been varied terms to define femininity in American society, but its nature has remained unchanged. In spite of the fact that the civil rights movement and the women＇s continuous struggle for equality and independence have enabled more and more women to take part in almost every political, economic and social arena, and women＇s social status has been greatly improved, in this patriarchal society of America, these definitions have been consolidated and reinforced, and they have normalized and controlled women＇s mind and action. With the help of the American mass media, the standards about feminine beauty and women＇s social role have considerably influenced the ways the general public assess women.
