Celebrate the rise of superwomen and discover the science behind the abilities of Wonder Woman, Scarlet Witch,Black Widow, Catwoman, and more!

Superhero fiction has been with us for almost a century;high-octane tales crammed with concepts and contrasting themes, from superpowers and the post-human,to masked vigilantes and immortality. In that time, superwomen have evolved from comic book caricatures (created by men, for men) to stronger representations of female power.

The Science of Superwomenlooks at this evolution, from its hypersexualized origins to today's more nuanced diversity. Focusing on characters from Star Wars and X-Men, as well as the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Captain Marvel, Harley Quinn, Wednesday Addams, Doctor Who, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Science of Superwomen explores the relationship between superhero film and fiction and the underlying science of our ever-evolving universe.
