Abstract
The aims of this paper is to explain the use of high heels as an agency for a woman's body. Agency context refers to pain in the body but pain is perceived as something positive. In this paper, the method used is a literature review by reviewing writings related to the use of high heels. The findings in this paper that women experience body image disturbance or anxiety because they feel themselves are not beautiful or not attractive. The use of high heels, makes women more attractive and more confident, on the other hand the use of high heels actually makes women feel pain and discomfort. However, for the achievement of beauty standards, women voluntarily allow their bodies to experience pain. However, the agency's willingness to beauty standards here is meaningless without filtering and directly accepted. Instead women keep negotiating with themselves so as to make a decision why use high heels.

Konteks agensi ini merujuk pada kesakitan pada tubuh namun kesakitan dipersepsikan sebagai sesuatu yang positif. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian literature dengan me-review dan mengkaji tulisan-tulisan yang terkait dengan penggunaan high heels. Temuan dalam tulisan ini bawah perempuan mengalami body image disturbance atau kecemasan karena merasa diri tidak cantik atau tidak menarik. Demi tercapainya standar kecantikan, wanita secara suka rela mengizinkan tubuhnya mengalami kesakitan. Akan tetapi kerelaan agensi terhadap standar kecantikan disini tidak berarti tanpa adanya penyaringan dan langsung diterima. Namun sebaliknya wanita tetap bernegosiasi dengan dirinya sendiri sehingga mampu membuat sebuah keputusan mengapa menggunakan high heels. Kata Kunci: High Heels, Tubuh Perempuan, Agensi
