Analysis Of Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman has always been a progressive feminist icon since her introduction in the second wave of feminism. Wonder Woman’s noteworthy physical features are the primary aspects in how she encourages body positivity and challenges society's views on women. Wonder Woman is a positive role as she breaks free from the stereotypes related to beauty, body image, and clothing that are perpetuated throughout the media.
Growing up I always felt like I was not “pretty enough,” due to the fact that I compared myself to the girls I would see in the media. I will always love Barbie and Disney, but as a kid I hated that I was not a pretty blonde girl like Barbie, and most of the Disney princesses. The underrepresentation of people of color in the media

The media perpetuates the notion that women have to be “thin” to be beautiful, this has led to many negative effects on not only me, but sadly many other girls as well.

When Wonder Woman asks why there was a protest against her, she is told that she “dress[es] like a whore.” To this comment, Wonder Woman responds simply with “My outfit makes me feel powerful.” As a girl, I am also constantly criticized for the way I dress for example, I have been told that I “dress like a slut,” I am “provoking men,” and even that I “want to get raped.” When in fact, the way I dress is simply what makes me happy and confident. Wonder Woman grasps the reality that women can be sexually desirable and still be intelligent and respectable
