Review of Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation

Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation. Bloomsbury Academic, 2016. Carolyn Cocca's Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation applies feminist, queer, and social theories, cultural criticism, and media theory to female superheroes, stimulating and problematizing the cultural and academic discourses surrounding them. Superwomen narrows the analytical focus of previous texts on female heroes such as Trina Robbins' The Great Women Superheroes (1996), Sherrie Inness' essay collection Action Chicks: New Images of Tough Women in Popular Culture (2004), and Mike Madrid's The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of the Comic Book Heroine (2009), by emphasizing the representational problems attached to perceived feminist characters.

Cocca explains that the origins of these characters respond to specific sociocultural contexts, and to an ongoing conversation about gender roles and expectations.

Home - Words of Women. Simone de Beauvoir The Second Sex, Woman as Other 1949. FOR a long time I have hesitated to write a book on woman. The subject is irritating, especially to women; and it is not new. Enough ink has been spilled in quarrelling over feminism, and perhaps we should say no more about it. It is still talked about, however, for the voluminous nonsense uttered during the last century seems to have done little to illuminate the problem.
