Title: Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation
Authors: Cocca, Carolyn
Issue Date: 2016
Publisher: Bloomsbury,
Citation: Cocca, Carolyn. Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation. London: Bloomsbury, 2016. Wonder Woman was a representative of a matriarchal society (27).
Description: Superwomen investigates how and why female superhero characters have become more numerous but are still not-at-all close to parity with their male counterparts; how and why they have become a flashpoint for struggles over gender, sexuality, race, and disability; what has changed over time and why in terms of how these characters have been written, drawn, marketed, purchased, read, and reacted to; and how and why representations of superheroes matter, particularly to historically underrepresented and stereotyped groups.
