Janelle Asselin, from Comics Alliance, takes a stab at commenting on Wonder Woman’s place as a feminist in the world of comics. What’s probably the best feature of her article is that she doesn’t think that being a feminist should be shied away from… especially not by her incoming writing and art team:
DC has a Wonder Woman problem. Or perhaps more accurately, Wonder Woman has a DC problem. The idea of Wonder Woman as a feminist icon is so imprinted in her history, and in analysis of the character, that separating her from feminism should be near impossible. But that hasn’t stopped people trying.
Much has been written over the years about the ebb and flow of feminism in the Wonder Woman comics, the relative feminism of her appearances on the small screen, and her role as an icon for the movement. A recent interview with the new Wonder Woman creative team of Meredith Finch and David Finch has brought the topic back into focus.
It’s a solid article and well worth the time to read.
