Searching for Feminist Superheroes
Author: Sam Langsdale
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477329781
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
"It's no secret that superhero comics have historically included problematic depictions of women, racial and sexual minorities, and others who do not fit the standard straight white male model of a hero. Rather than focus on these negative depictions, Langsdale wants to take a more positive approach by looking at recent comics that can be called feminist, with female heroes and creators of all genders that tell new types of stories within the genre. Although these books have usually been marginalized and have suffered premature cancellation, she argues that this marginalization has enabled innovative stories to be told in ways that not only advance the genre but also interact with contemporary social justice concerns. Incorporating intersectionality and feminist theory, Langsdale analyzes complete stories focused on various heroes -- Spider-Woman, America Chavez, the Unstoppable Wasp, and Ironheart. By exploring different elements of these characters, e.g., Spider-Woman's pregnancy, America's identity as a queer mestiza, and the Wasp's creation of a female-run STEM facility, she examines what makes these texts feminist and how they interact with larger issues of inclusion and social justice in ways that more traditional superhero narratives don't and probably can't. She also examines how these characters' appearances in other media have played a part in their development. By focusing on marginalized runs of comics, Langsdale demonstrates how even these can make powerful statements about feminism and the world"--

Elizabethan England is a time of superstition and strange goings on. If you have a problem, it’s common to go to a witch for help. And Queen Elizabeth I is no different… When Daisy -- a precocious young witch -- learns of the death of the Queen's Royal Witch, she flies to London to audition as her replacement. But Daisy is from a poor family, and they don't let just anyone into the Royal Court. The only way into the palace is to take a job as a cleaner.
