Eyes” and her Hero, “Bill”, Over There ' and Charles Moulton’s Wonder Woman comics, both series consistently remind the reader that the protagonists, Golden Eyes and Wonder Woman, are still women underneath everything that they do. They are still beautiful women with feminine characteristics and they are never once mistaken or considered as a man. It is never implied that they are strong because they take on the image of a man, but rather, they are strong because they have chosen to stand up and…

Wonder Woman as an Image of Feminism Who said women cannot be smart, strong, and sexy? Female characters throughout cinematic history struggle to find the balance between the three feminist traits. In 1941, feminist Moulton Marston is able to crack the code with his creation of the Wonder Woman comic which follows Diana Prince, the lead character which mirrors the trajectory of the women’s movement in America (Dockterman).

While Wonder Woman has had a presence in Hollywood for much longer than any other heroine, it was only very recently that she made her way onto the big screen. Her only appearance so far was in Batman v Superman, where she played a minor role. Unfortunately, her character was used mostly as a plot device in order to further the storyline and help give Batman information that he needed. When she did appear, it also included a flirtatious…
