SUPER WOMAN MYTH
Successful, strong, flawless… These attributes often appear to be forms of praise when attributed to women; however, they carry a heavy burden of expectation behind them. In this sense, the “Super Woman” myth is an invisible performance standard reinforced by corporate and social codes. This standard makes it difficult for women to internalize their achievements and deepens impostor phenomenon through the constant pressure to do more.
In her speech, Evrim Kuran questions this pressure of perfectionism, invisible labor, and the obligation to “always remain strong.” She emphasizes that true strength does not lie in being able to do everything, but in being able to accept vulnerability and seek support. Because sometimes the most transformative sentence is: I cannot be able to do everything.
