Une femme mariée contains a great many references in dialogue to male concept of female beauty and their mediation through the image. [...] Charlotte is nothing more than a perfect image. But this perfect image, this mask of visibility (which, composed of make-up, clothes and so on, has an indexical relationship to the woman's body) is furthermore a symbolic sign. It represents the concept of woman in a given social formation – that is, the equation woman = sexuality. This feminine mask is the passport to visibility in a male-dominated world. Her mask of visibility conceals behind it the diverse and complex nature of woman's place in the social and economic order, where sexual difference is a matter of division of labour, differences and divisions which have no image, no form. The invisible women in factories, homes, schools, hospitals, are formless and unrepresentable.

The female body has become industrialised; a woman must buy the means to paint on (make-up) and sculpt (underwear/clothes) a look of femininity, a look which is the guarantee of visibility in sexist society for each individual woman. Advertisements sell the means of production of the look, sealing it in with the mark of feminine desirability, attainable by means of lipsticks, bras, scents and so on - magic formulae depending on novelty for appeal just as the market depends on turnover for profit. Magazines provide the know-how, techniques and expertise; sealing the association of woman and sexuality in the minds of women themselves. It is almost as though woman herself were a factory, feeding in the means of production, painting on the mask and emerging transformed wih value added in the process, a commodity ready for consumption.
