This draft screenplay for Real Women Have Curves was created by Chicana playwright, Josefina López. Not seeing another Latina like her on stage or screen, Lopez created a “coming-of-age” play that depicts the struggles many young women face when it comes to accepting one's body despite societal, and at times familial, pressures to look and act a certain way. She co-authored the screenplay of the movie which starred America Ferrera, inspiring young women to embrace their natural selves it also encouraged conversations about the immigrant experience, the burden to live up to familial expectations, and body image in general.
