But they have to work their wonders in skirts and high heels. The Supergirls, a cultural history of comic book heroines, asks whether their world of fantasy is that different from our own. Are the stories of Wonder Woman's search for an identity or Batwoman's battle for equality also an alternative saga of the American woman?   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 741.5973 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
