I really wanted to love this, but it's boring. The first two or three chapters were interesting because they covered the years before I started reading comics, and therefore, the info was new-ish to me. The social commentary is limited as there are more characters to cover to give room to more insightful commentary. My overall impression is that of being mansplained to. I wish there were reproductions of actual comics, but illustrations are limited to a few black & white sketches. A disappointment. ( )

Covers a lot of really interesting ideas and a fascinating history. ( )

I really loved this book. It gave a great overview of the place that women have held in comics over the last 70 years. The author writes in a very personable style that makes the book easy to read and fun to enjoy. For each decade since comics have been popular, the author addresses the changes occurring for women in the decade and how these changes were reflected or not reflected in comic books. There are also chapters devoted to specific characters or even arch-types within the comic book industry.

My biggest problem now is that I want to go out and read all of these comics he talks about and some of them just aren't findable (scuse me while I make up words). The only negative thing I will say is while it would be completely inappropriate to have a book on female superheros without devoting a chapter to Wonder Woman, the author also covers parts of Wonder Woman's background in other chapters so by the time you get to that chapter, you do kind of feel like "okay I read alot of this already." Otherwise this is a great read for any girl that's into comics and graphic novels or anyone who want's to see how womens issues are reflected in different types of media. ( )
