Princess Jasmine - A Breakthrough?

Princess Jasmine is one of the more independent and outgoing Princesses of the bunch. She stands up for herself and she knows what she wants. This is what makes her so different to the other Princesses. She doesn't clean, as she's rich, yet she still sings. She doesn't cook as she's rich and she always has perfectly big and long hair, not a single fly away. She may not want a man or feel the need for one but in the end she does still fall in love. Also as seen in the song above "peacock princess" she knows over 40 languages! She also wants to have career for herself in a hospital or maybe teaching. This shows her passion to help others.
So though Jasmine is still represented as the perfect women by being beautiful, having perfect hair, a thin waist (like all the others) rich, and in love she also has a bit more dignity added in to her personality. Thats the same as the more modern Disney Princesses such as Rapunzel. They are continuously growing into better shaped Princesses to portray a more fair handed idea of the Perfect women in order for society to accept women in more ways.
Jasmine sings "theres so much more i can do" and "I'm more than a peacock princess." This is her way of saying that even though she has money she wants more than fame and fortune in life, she wants to help others and use her knowledge.
This idea is very good of Disney to have done as Jasmines representation sets a great example for younger girls to admire.
