In addition, the book extends the discussion of heroines for the broader audience, which provides a much needed, more nuanced discussion of this topic across American popular culture. Contributors go beyond the expected account of women as mothers, wives, warriors, goddesses, and damsels in distress, to provide innovative analysis that situates heroines within culture, revealing them as tough, self-sufficient, and breaking the bounds of gender expectations i 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aHeroines in literature 606 $aWomen in popular culture 606 $aWomen in mass media 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aHeroines in literature. 615 0$aWomen in popular culture. 615 0$aWomen in mass media. 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.933522 702 $aBajac-Carter$b Maja$f1979- 702 $aJones$b Norma$f1972- 702 $aBatchelor$b Bob 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808935803321 996 $aHeroines of comic books and literature$94068894 997 $aUNINA
