Superhero comics have come a long way. The
range of female superheroes, vigilantes, and villains has
broadened considerably since earlier times. There's a lot more on
offer for feminist fans of mainstream comics.
But today's fans face a whole new set of stumbling blocks:
objectifying, inappropriately sexualised art styles; gruesome
deaths designed only to forward a male character's story; and a
generally held public opinion that superhero comics are the
domain of boys and men and therefore have no need to be
female-friendly.

We love comics. We want to see them remain a vital, energetic,
engaging, popular art form enjoyed by a range of audience groups.
If this objective is to remain viable, comics have to pick up
their game. We're here to see that they do.
One of Girl-Wonder.org's primary aims is to
get comics fans talking to each other in an environment where
everyone feels equally free to express their opinions. Toward
this end, visitors are strongly encouraged to make use of
the forums.
