Synopsis

Wham! Boom! Bam! Surperheroines come bursting through the screen!
From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, we see how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society's anxieties about women's liberation.
With behind the scenes interviews with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real-life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna and others, this is an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre.
