Last night I watched the documentary Wonder Women: The Untold Story of American Heroines (2012). The main focus of the topic is the evolution of the strong and independent heroine figure represented in Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is considered to be the only major heroine in the male-dominated field of Comic books. The movie analyses the metamorphosis of this character throughout the decades and how she inspired the birth of various powerful female figures in Action and Thriller movies such as Thelma and Louise, Alien and The Terminator. The documentary points out how the figure of Wonder Woman changes in parallel with women’s role in society in general. For example, in the forties, when Wonder Woman emerged, women played a major role in society by invading the workspace while men were fought in WWII. As of the sixties, Wonder Woman was no longer as powerful, and became more submissive and emotional, which is part of the stereotypes about women that patriarchy created. In regards to Wonder Woman’s outfit, the spectator can easily notice the impact of the male gaze on it, because throughout the decades, she is wearing less, and is more sexualized.Although the documentary highlights the importance of the image of heroines in American pop culture, it failed to show the lack of representation of heroines of colour and indigenous origins. Many spectators don’t identify with Wonder Woman because she is white, skinny and heterosexual. I think contemporary pop culture still lacks the voices and representation of self-identified women of different races and sexual orientations. From my perspective, X-Men is the comic that initiated the representation of women of colour as powerful heroines through the characters of Storm and Mystique. Storm is the first major black female character in comics, while Mystique is a character that defends the rights of marginalized people in society and can easily switch herself from one race and gender to another. Even with these powerful female figures, the show is still titled X-Men and the documentary didn’t mention it in its analysis despite how prominent the series has been in the last decade alone, especially compared to Wonder Woman’s lack of films.In order for feminist film theory to have an inclusive perspective, all feminists must keep in mind that it is not a movement that only represents white, able-bodied, heterosexual women. Feminism is a socio-political movement that must represent self-identified women of all races, social classes, shapes and sexualities
