The phenomenon of proprietorship, which emerged simultaneously with the woman identity, became the foundation where all the sociological mechanisms have been built over throughout the history of humanity, as the basic component of the society. In that sense, a research focusing on the woman identity is in the nature of a key method at all times for understanding the current sociological structure. The economic policies applied without any limits by the global capital while gaining power from the technological developments, caused observable sociological changes all over the world.

The primary factor for the cultural policies based on economy observed starting with the 80s being successful is the media organs of that time. The main factor going beyond the duty of presenting these policies to the society that provided the conversion to be made by making these policies habits of life, is the press as the primary channel of the time. The key role the woman identity has played in observing the societal habits in every culture all along, has also closely affected the way the arts created by that culture is configured in the society. On the other hand, the woman image carries the characteristic of an analytical reference in the sense that it is the most evident intersection point in the communication systematic of the society and the arts of the same society. As such, the global policies of the 80s based on consumption, have started out from this phenomenon for finding existence within the mechanisms of the society and have used the woman image as the main figure of this strategy. Consequently, in observing the cultural changes that took place in the 80s with the effect of the press, the ways the artists of that time handled the woman figure present significant data.
