  • 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.

    Fall Series: “Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith” Series Text: Jesus says, “Much will be demanded from everyone who has been given much, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked." -Luke 12:48 Sermon #6: “Wonder Woman - The Strength of Love” Scripture: 1 John 3:11-21 Sermon Text: “Now faith, hope, and love remain–these three things–and the greatest of these is love.” -1 Corinthians 13:13 Source: David Werner Theme: Wonder Woman offers an alternative to handling issues with aggressive strength and violence. Her character offers a different way to resolve problems: the strength and power of love, mercy, Forged in the WWII era, Wonder Woman becomes the archetype of the modern, liberated woman, and a welcomed alternative to violence. Blurb: Strength, power, and influence don’t have to be defined in terms of brawn, aggression and violence. In a world where we personally experience “might makes right” almost on a daily basis, we need a different approach. Our God calls us to be strong and mighty, but not in the ways the world operates. Wonder Woman, our superhero this week, offers an alternative, a way for us to see how we can live heroically in the strength and power of love, truth and justice.

And sometimes shows aren’t successful because those fights aren’t carried on long or hard enough.” -Douglas S.

Women are the wave of the future—and sisterhood is…stronger than anything.” -Wonder Woman, The New Original Wonder Woman (7 Nov. 1975) Abstract Live-action superhero films currently play a significant role at the box office, which means they also play a significant role in culture’s understandings about justice.

  • Wonder Woman's Fight for Autonomy: How Patty Jenkins Did
    Wonder Woman’s Fight for Autonomy: How Patty Jenkins Did What No Man Could Hanann Morris Brigham Young University 31 December 2017 Morris 2 Abstract Originally created to empower women, the iconic super heroine, Wonder Woman, has fluctuated between feminist icon to an over-simplified object of male fantasy. In this paper, I will do a brief comparison of the many Wonder Woman adaptions in an effort to show how all adaptions, except one, have failed to empower Wonder Woman as a champion of women autonomy. I will also show how given the recent rise of sexual-harassment awareness, it is more important than ever to have role models that are not objectified but are independent, self-governing subjects. Morris 3 Wonder Woman’s Fight for Autonomy: How Patty Jenkins Did What No Man Could Perhaps the most recognized comic superheroine of all time, Wonder Woman’s many adaptions have sparked controversy among readers, feminists, and scholars in a debate that continues seventy-five years after her creation. Originally created to empower women, Wonder Woman has fluctuated between champion of social justice and dehumanized sexual object. She was the second superheroine to have her own comic, the first to stay in print until current day, and the first superheroine to have her own major motion picture. Yet the majority of her adaptations have shaped her into an object of male sexual gratification and submission with one exception—the 2017 Wonder Woman film directed by Patty Jenkins, the only film that gave Wonder Woman a voice. Wonder Woman was born under possibly the most feminist of circumstances for 1940 America.

  • WST 338 Syllabus Spring 2018
    WST 338 [H,D] [HUM] Women and Popular Culture Spring 2018 Dr. Gordillo Class: Tuesday and Thursday 12:00-1:15 VLIB 201 Office Hours: T – TH 1:20 – 2:20 MMC 202 U E-mail: [email protected] Course Description and Goals: Cultural production in societies has been a point of contention and challenge for many scholars. How do we represent ourselves through various mediums of dissemination? What are the things about our cultural practices that we market and enhance popularly? What are the things that we don’t “talk” about in popular TV series, films, and literary work? The purpose of this course is twofold: First we will look at how we construct different “texts” to disseminate social meanings and messages; visually, literary, and through sound. Secondly, we will critically analyze who are the main contributors of these images/messages and how these are disseminated. Women and popular culture have had a historical symbiotic relationship whereby women have played different roles in the dissemination and creation of societal constructs about gender. In this course we will carefully deconstruct how we create social “texts” in the form of popular culture. Cultural critic Cynthia Orozco, “U.S. mainstream popular culture should be exposed for what it is – an ambassador of modern day imperialism.” What are the implications of this statement? Do we replicate social norms that are normalized via the media and accept them without challenge? Do we knowingly contribute to the many recycled stereotypes that we see on TV and in film about Euroamerican women and women of color? How do we construct and perform gender in popular culture? The course will approach the study of women in popular culture through lectures, films, music, and discussion of secondary and primary source readings.

  • June 2020 “Wonder Women – Then and Now” One of My Favourite Television Programmes in the Late 1970’S Was Wonder Woman
    Moravian Women’s Association Devotional Paper – June 2020 “Wonder Women – Then and Now” One of my favourite television programmes in the late 1970’s was Wonder Woman. The star of the show was an American actress called Lynda Carter. Carter was my maiden name and in my naivety I assumed everyone with that surname was probably distantly related to me, so I thought she was pretty special! The series was based on the DC Comic character which first appeared back in 1941 when heroes were generally men. The TV series ran from 1975-1979. Nearly 40 years later In 2017 a new film was released with the Israeli actress Gal Gadot playing Wonder Woman. It was set during the First World War. Gadot plays Diana, the princess of the Amazon women warriors, daughter of Zeus and Hippolyte. Growing up in the hidden, women-only, paradise of mythical Themyscira, Diana is trained for her life mission – war! Not against men, but against the only Greek god left alive – the god of war, Ares, her half- brother. Diana’s mother, Queen Hippolyte, had taught her that men could not be trusted. She is unique, special and men do not deserve her. Diana learns from Steve Trevor, the American/ British war spy she saves from drowning, that although human untrustworthiness is an obvious fact, life is not about what people deserve. One acts in accordance with “what you believe.” Diana believed that by finding and killing Ares, she could end all wars. She did kill the god, but the wars continued. Diana sensed that the problem was more complicated; that something was wrong with humankind.

  • 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.

  • Who Did Wonder Woman Lunch with in Phoenix?
    Exclusive: Who Did Wonder Woman Lunch with in Phoenix? Written by Written by Kathy Shayna Shocket Kathy Shayna Shocket has the inside scoop on the stories that make the headlines. Kathy takes you behind the scenes of the private lunch with Lynda Carter. As the famous TV-series hero "Wonder Woman", Lynda Carter could pack a punch and save the day. The actress Lynda Carter (who I first met when she invited me to her Malibu ranch in the 70‘s and have been lucky enough to be her guest back stage at one of her singing appearances in Las Vegas) lives in Washington, D.C, now with husband Robert Altman. The singer and still actress (she was great on an episode last year of "Two and a Half Men"), is also a power player with a political voice. In fact, she was in Phoenix today at a private power lunch. Lynda, originally from Phoenix, was the special guest of Fred DuVal, the only Democrat currently in the 2014 race for Arizona governor. The private lunch at which she took the podium, a fundraiser for Fred DuVal’s campaign, was sold out. Pictured above are Lynda and Fred at the meet-and-greet prior to the lunch. Attorney Nicole Stanton, (wife of Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton) was also there and spoke about the importance of equal pay for women and highlights of Fred's platform. Luncheon hosts included Senator Katie Hobbs, Senator Anna Tovar, Councilwoman Kate Gallego, Councilwoman Ginny Dickey, Council CAWCD Member Heather Macre,Jacqueline Adams, Catherine Alonzo, Patricia AtLee, Marcia BuschingJanuary Contreras, Sandy Ferniza, Marcia Fine,Bobette Gorden,Bryan Howard, Jodi Liggett, Rosie Lopez, Erin Connelly Martin, Shirley McAllister, Jane McNamara, Laura Miller, Charlotte Raynor, Evelyn Roseberry, Megan Schmitz, Gladys Simon.Michelle Steinberg, Ann Wallack and Judith Wolff.
