2011 ActionFest Juror Katrina Hill reviews Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines on her website, Action Chick Flick:

“This documentary is an excellent depiction of the struggles of women throughout the years to overcome opposition while seeking equal opportunities. During that uncertain time women were looking for strong female role models in media but came up with very few. More heroines came along throughout the years, but then a new trend started of altering these women to be hypersexualized as well as killing them off.”

Hill is right in pointing out that heroines and superheroines are treated very differently from male ones and that we have a long way to go yet.  It’s a thoughtful piece, so make sure to check out the whole thing. And make sure to see the documentary. It’s fun, thought-provoking and it has excellent girls like Katie talking about what Wonder Woman (and other superheroes) mean to them:
