By putting the spotlight on the female child and framing her as the ideal of beauty, he condemns the mature woman to invisibility.

When a woman looks mature and self-assertive, or allows her hips to expand, she is condemned ugly. Thus, the walls of the European harem separate youthful beauty from ugly maturity.
