Beatrix Kiddo, Uma Thurman, in the costume which has been copied from the film Game of Death starring Bruce Lee

This relates to my study as Uma Thurman's iconic outfit was copied from that of Bruce Lee. This could be considered cross-dressing although obviously Thurman's version is made more feminine by the shape. However, what is interesting is that the strong female character of Beatrix Kiddo wears male clothing reinforcing patriarchy in that being strong and independent are exclusivley male traits and women acting this way are being masculine.
