CANCELLED: Women’s Herstory Month: The Wonder of Women – Wonder Woman, Power, Positionality, and Representation

Wonder Woman, perhaps the most recognizable female superhero debuted in 1941, barely 20 years after (primarily white) women gained the right to vote in all elections the U.S. Wonder Woman is undergoing a renaissance in the past few years; comic book fans as well as the general public have “voted” for her active inclusion in the DC cinematic universe, propelling the 2017 film into a huge success and laying the groundwork for the upcoming 2020 sequel.

We will  discuss Wonder Woman’s history and how she fits into the history of feminism and women’s rights movements in the U.S., as well as  her current incarnation in both the films and the comics.
