'Wonder Women!', directed by Kristy Guevera-Flanagan, traces the fascinating birth, evolution and legacy of the Wonder Woman figure and introduces audiences to a dynamic group of fictional and real-life superheroines fighting for positive role models for girls, both on screen and off.
From the birth of the 1940s comic book heroine Wonder Woman to the blockbusters of today, 'Wonder Women!' examines how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society's anxieties about those of them who are strong and influential. Going behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real-life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna and others, this documentary offers an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre.
