  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

Abstract: Comics enlighten the fact in a light manner with a serious theme to it. Wonder Woman very much serves the purpose of the article that emphasizes on the importance of women, the value of women, the superior thought of a woman with awe-inspiring nature and characteristics that eventually demonstrate ‘Feminism’ or invaluable women around. The work is significant as the protagonist is a woman with invincible herself without any fear, facing her own world of the living and also another world where patriarchy narrates itself. There are mixed methods in the article that have been used i.e. some experiments shown in 2017 The Wonder Woman movie and some secondary data have been collected from websites and sites. The protocol used here was to proliferate the womanism as feminism and to wide open the eyes of the people about the feminine entity. And to reach the destination the theoretical angles been used giving all the information on the main character even scientifically. Ultimately, a lot of learning took place that called as results of the article.

  • Voting for Love & Justice
    VOTING FOR LOVE & JUSTICE WITH WONDER WOMAN FORWARD BY LYNDA CARTER Forty-five years ago, I was asked to bring one of my childhood heroes to life on screen. As a little girl growing up in Phoenix, Arizona, I would flip through the pages of Wonder Woman comics and find myself immersed in Diana Prince’s extraordinary adventures. For women and girls of my generation, Diana Prince was THE media representation we had in the world of fantasy and comics. It’s now hard to imagine a world without Dana Scully, Hermione Granger, or Princess Shuri, yet even in 1975, studio executives had little faith that a Wonder Woman TV show would attract an audience. Of course, they were proven wrong! I have been asked many times over the years why I think the character of Wonder Woman is such an enduring icon. While her superhuman strength, agility, and lasso of truth come to mind, I believe that the wisdom and humanity behind the character is why she will remain beloved for the ages. Diana Prince is an Amazonian princess, but in my portrayal I focused on everything that connected her to humanity. Diana’s love and empathy for the people around her empowers her to fight for love and justice at every turn. With kindness, she sets examples that change minds and hearts when you least expect it. Diana also brings intellect and wisdom to the table, reminding us that there’s nothing you can’t do with both a kind heart and a brilliant mind. Throughout her story, she is more than just a superhero in satin tights: she is everything from a devoted civil servant to a savvy businesswoman.

Many feminist scholars would argue that most American films fail the “Blechdel Test,” because they focus on primarily on men, and they reflect men’s interests and wants. Can a film fail the Blechdel test, yet still be considered a feminist film? What exactly is feminism or to be more accurate, feminisms, and how do they speak to issues of empowerment and agency or lack thereof n films? How has cinema affected the discourse of feminisms over the past 60 years? This course uses film to trace the history of feminisms. We will discuss feminism in relationship to the intersectionality of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and class found in American cinema. We will discuss how Hollywood cinema’s heteronormative “white centre” (to use E.
