Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

Media Release -- The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy and the History of Comic Book Heroines
Booksigning and presentation with author Mike Madrid
Thursday, September 10, 2009, from 7pm to 9pm
Free and open to the public
Comic book superheroines bend steel, travel across time and space, and wield the mighty forces of nature. These mighty females do everything that male heroes do….but they have to work their wonders in skirts and high heels.
In THE SUPERGIRLS, author Mike Madrid traces the cultural history of the superheroine, and asks whether their world of fantasy is that different from out own. Are the stories of Wonder Woman's search for an identity, Batwoman and Power Girl's battle for equality, and Manhunter's juggling of crime fighting career and motherhood also an alternative saga of modern American women?
