Rethinking Superheroine Representation: A Gendered Analysis Over Decades

This analysis delves into the evolving representation of female superheroes in comic culture from 1966 to 2013. Highlighting the disparity of male to female figures, the discussion raises critical questions about the portrayal of femininity and power. Drawing on quotes from William Marston, it critiques how traditional archetypes often lack strength and depth. Through iconic images of heroes and heroines from major franchises such as Marvel and DC, we examine why aspiring young girls often reject the notion of being superheroes when the representations available do not empower them.
