Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors: Superwomen in Modern Mythology

Thursday, September 4, 7pm, Shoreline Library, 345 NE 175th

In this lively multimedia presentation, pop-culture historian Jennifer K. Stuller will explore how the female hero in modern mythology has broken through the boys’ club barrier of tradition. 

Using comics, television and film, discuss female action and super heroines from the 1930s to the present day. This conversation will examine women’s representations in media and women’s roles as media makers, inspiring us to think deeper about popular culture, media, gender images and storytelling.
