This book explores how the heroes and villains of popular comic books—and the creators of these icons of our culture—reflect the American experience out of which they sprang, and how they have achieved relevance by adapting to, and perhaps influencing, the evolving American character. Multiple generations have thrilled to the exploits of the heroes and villains of American comic books. These imaginary characters permeate our culture—even Americans who have never read a comic book grasp what the most well-known examples represent. But these comic book characters, and their creators, do more than simply thrill: they make us consider who we are and who we aspire to be. Icons of the American Comic Book: From Captain America to Wonder Woman contains 100 entries that provide historical background, explore the impact of the comic-book character on American culture, and summarize what is iconic about the subject of the entry. Each entry also lists essential works, suggests further readings, and contains at least one sidebar that provides entertaining and often quirky insight not covered in the main entry. This two-volume work examines fascinating subjects, such as how the superhero concept embodied the essence of American culture in the 1930s; and the ways in which comic book icons have evolved to reflect changing circumstances, values, and attitudes regarding cultural diversity. The book's coverage extends beyond just characters, as it also includes entries devoted to creators, publishers, titles, and even comic book related phenomena that have had enduring significance.

Works of science fiction and fantasy increasingly explore gender issues, feature women as central characters, and are written by women writers. This book examines women's contributions to science fiction and fantasy across a range of media and genres, such as fiction, nonfiction, film, television, art, comics, graphic novels, and music. The first volume offers survey essays on major topics, such as sexual identities, fandom, women's writing groups, and feminist spirituality; the second provides alphabetically arranged entries on more specific subjects, such as Hindu mythology, Toni Morrison, magical realism, and Margaret Atwood. Entries are written by expert contributors and cite works for further reading, and the set closes with a selected, general bibliography. Students and general readers love science fiction and fantasy. And science fiction and fantasy works increasingly explore gender issues, feature women as central characters, and are written by women writers. Older works demonstrate attitudes toward women in times past, while more recent works grapple with contemporary social issues. This book helps students use science fiction and fantasy to understand the contributions of women writers, the representation of women in the media, and the experiences of women in society.

This collection of new essays looks carefully at the broad spectrum of Neil Gaiman's work and how he interacts with feminism. Sixteen diverse essays from Gaiman scholars examine highlights from Gaiman's graphic novels, short stories, novels, poems and screenplays, and confront the difficult issues he raises, including femininity, the male gaze, issues of age discrimination, rape, and feminine agency. Altogether the essays probe the difficult and complex representation of women and issues of femininity in the worlds of Neil Gaiman.

Women are strong, powerful, loving, caring, gentle, ruthless. We possess every strength and weakness you can think of. We are mothers, daughters, lovers, wives, sisters. We possess wisdom and wit. And you can see our wit, our wisdom, our capacity for life nowhere better than in these great quotations. 365 of them, split into months and days to live your life by. Inspirational quotes, motivational quotations, mother and daughter quotes, relationships, divorce, men, children; the power of women is served up in these life changing quotations. Racism, freedom, relationships, sex, family, mother daughter relationships and much, much more is covered in the pages of this gem. The first half of this inspirational book deals with family, with relationships, with mothers and their feelings. Agatha Christie on being a mother: “A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. “ Jodi Picoult about her mother: “My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.” JK Rowling on the love of a mother: “Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark … to have been loved so deeply ... will give us some protection forever.” How about Florida Scott –Maxwell: “No matter how old a mother is, she watches her middle-aged children for signs of improvement.” Or Phyllis Diller:" We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up." The next 6 months gives you quotes from some of the greatest women that have ever lived. The great poet and advocate of women, Maya Angelou; the wonderful Germaine Greer, Susan B Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Helen Keller and Rosa Parks. There’s a mini biography to go with each one just in case you know nothing about them. Hang your head in shame! My thanks to Wikipedia for the mini biographies. Love quotes from Helen Keller: “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” Inspirational quotes from Harriet Beecher Stowe;” The longest day must have its close - the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning.” Funny quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt:” I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.” Quotes about life from Maya Angelou; “I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life’” and from Rosa Parks: “. Each person must live their life as a model for others.” And on sex and love from Germaine Greer: “I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.” These only scratch the surface of the wisdom of women.365 great quotes to live your life by. Writers, artists, business women; women from all creeds, centuries and societies have their say. Oh, there is the occasional quote from a man but don’t let that put you off. We do need them sometimes, after all!
