Wonder Woman Documentary Debuts on PBS Tonight!

Thanks to film-maker Kristy Guevara-Flanagan,  fans of Wonder Woman and superheroines, have it's own documentary chronicling the rise of female heroes over the years. Since an actual worthy feature film has proven elusive for decades this doc represents how ingrained the powerful inspiration of fictional characters like Wonder Woman are pervasive in American culture. 

"Tonight on Independent Lens, watch  "Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines," which traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman.From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, popular representations of powerful women often reflect society's anxieties about women's liberation. Go behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and feminist figures such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna and others, who offer a counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre." - PBS
