Hazel Miller, Conversations in the Humanities "Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors: Superwomen in Modern Mythology" Jennifer Stuller May 21st 7pm-8:30pm Black Box Theater, EdCC. Free and open to the public http://www.blackboxedcc.org/ Organized by: Humanities Washington, ACCE at Edmonds Community College, and Edmonds Public Library From Wonder Woman to Buffy Summers, Emma Peel to Sydney Bristow, Charlie's Angels to the Powerpuff Girls, superwomen are more than just love interests or sidekicks who stand by their men. In this lively multimedia presentation, pop-culture historian Jennifer K. Stuller will help us explore how the female hero in modern mythology has broken through the boys' club barrier of tradition. Using comics, television and film, we will discuss female action and super heroines from the 1930s to the present day. Do social and political forces affect pop culture -- and vice versa? This conversation will examine women's representations in media and women's roles as media makers, inspiring us to think deeper about popular culture, media, gender images and storytelling.
