Only Ever Yours es una narrativa distópica que subraya un discurso feminista que critica las obsesiones poco prácticas de la cultura masculina sobre los estándares de belleza de las mujeres. Ambientada en una estructura institucional intensamente reglamentada en la que las jóvenes son domesticadas por una autoridad androcéntrica, la novela magnifica la gravedad de las prácticas patriarcales al reducir el estatus de las mujeres a meros objetos al enfatizar demasiado su apariencia física y sensualidad. Este artículo interroga las condiciones de vida de los personajes femeninos que están sujetos a rigurosos mecanismos de control de la institución que busca convertirlos en compañeros ideales para hombres jóvenes adheridos a estereotipos patriarcales. Basándose en el concepto de “panopticismo” de Michel Foucault, este artículo examina críticamente la representación de la estructura de control en el texto seleccionado, revelando su profundo arraigo de ideologías patriarcales. Además, destaca la reciprocidad entre el sistema panóptico y la mirada patriarcal al imponer una inclinación autodisciplinaria en las mujeres y examina sus repercusiones psicológicas en ellas.
