I also noticed comics of the 1980's became targeted much more towards an older reader. Heroines of the 70's became stronger as a reflection of the women's liberation movement, and in a sense got back to their roots from Golden Age comics. It was in the 50's and 60's that women were portrayed as weaker and more focused on love and pleasing a man than on fighting crime. But looking back, I found that so many of those heroines of the 1940's were actually smart, daring, powerful, and often independent.
Madrid: I think most people would assume that women's roles would have been more limited in the early days of comics. GeekMom: What kinds of differences did you see in the portrayal of Supergirls over the years?
