Female Comic Book Characters

Rajeev talks about the evolution of female roles in comic books over the years. It first originated as the women would be side characters or back ups, but after a considerable amount of time, women started making a place for themselves in comics. It was the women's freedom movement which initiated the new thought of having female characters actually be the heroes or heroines for that matter. Now there are many female comic book characters that compete with the best comics of all time.

I like this article because as time progressed women became stronger and more independent in the world's view. It's important to know that even something simple like a comic book picked up on this change and changed along with it, creating new stories and characters that gave women the chance to become the heroes like they are in the real world situations and events today.
