Previously, Jenny has been one of the people who showed Davidson how to rely on other people, but at this point, she views even Jenny as an intrusion. This shows just how devoted Davidson has become to her impossible ideal of independence. At the same time, the somewhat false images that the pictures show demonstrate that Davidson isn’t wrong to fear others’ interference; their perspectives can conflict with her own sense of truth. Davidson’s discomfort with the glamorously feminine images again suggests that the burden of femininity comes primarily from society’s perceptions of women, not from the simple reality of being a woman.
