Avatars for Uppity Women

Modern-day Amazons and Sometimes-Reluctant Symbols

Heroes for independent and 'different' women today take various forms,
including fictional characters who go where most women can't afford to,
or female actors who aren't afraid to take stands and
have distinctive personalities which haven't been subsumed by 'expectations'.

Classical Amazons and Goddesses who don't take guff
Female Temporal Power with a Side of Spiritual

Wonder Woman | Black Canary | Hawkwoman | Zatanna

Deep thanks and full credit to the original creators and artists, such as Doctor Charles Moulton, who thought girls needed strong hero figures to; and his blessed disciples such as the Amazon ghod, George Perez; to Mike Grell (who isn't represented here, but did the Black Canary proud); all the animators for Batman/Superman/Justice League of America who remember what canon is SUPPOSED to be like; Trina Robbins, who does likewise; and Miyazaki-o-sama, animation's answer to James Cameron, who thinks girls need to have life-changing adventures also.
