The concept of identity in superhero narratives has become a
burgeoning field in academic studies of this increasingly popular
cinematic genre. Women in Marvel Films provides the first rigorous
analysis of the portrayals of women, heroic and otherwise, in films
based on Marvel comics from the 1980s to the present. It explores
the relationships between this cultural phenomenon and wider issues
of gender equality, considering the cultural moments in which
Marvel films are made and incorporating complex histories of the
comic book and Hollywood industries. The book also asks how
feminist issues surface within superhero adaptations and how they
are dealt with via Hollywood and comic book conventions. Women in
Marvel Films shows how the Marvel superhero film taps into
political complexities regarding gender and related identity
issues, such as women's roles in society and their relation to men,
and provides a fascinating insight into gendered power dynamics in
contemporary American popular culture.
