Celebrate the rise of superwomen and discover the science behind the abilities of Wonder Woman, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Catwoman, and more! Superhero fiction has been with us for almost a century, filled with high-intensity stories containing concepts and contradictory themes, from superpowers and the post-human, to masked avengers and immortality. During this time, superwomen have evolved from comic book caricatures (created by men, for men) into more powerful representations of female strength. The Science of Superwomen examines this evolution, from its hypersexualized origins to the more nuanced polyphony of today’s era. It focuses on characters from the Star Wars and X-Men movies, as well as figures like Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Captain Marvel, Harley Quinn, Wednesday Addams, Doctor Who, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Science of Superwomen explores the relationship between superhero films and literature and the underlying science of our ever-evolving universe.
