In the eyes of the media, Asian women are caricatures of the submissive Oriental wife and the
conniving Dragon Lady, the schoolgirl and the Asian news anchorwoman, as well as various types
of sex slaves. Over the past 80 years in Hollywood and on TV, these stereotypes are what we, as a society, have internalized into a declining identity for women of Asian descent.
