Estrogen month update

Female capes abound, Marvel artist sees light

Maybe it's because of Women's History Month, or maybe it's the time of (wo)man.  But for those of us who like to idealize (rather than fetishize or objectify) women superheroes, there's a lot of good stuff online right now.

Besides getting their fill of Buffy and Wonder Woman, readers can linger over Alan Kistler's exhaustive two-part profile of the Amazon princess (here's part one and part two).  On the artistic end, Project Rooftop and GirlWonder.org are co-sponsoring Supergirl Week, featuring entries from last month's Draw Supergirl online artfest. And in the area of personal epiphany, Marvel artist Brian Denham talks about his moments of revelation and self-education about drawing women in comics.  Even the lone woman character with a speaking role in the movie 300 gets a nice review/analysis from Purtek at the Hathor Legacy.

As ever, When Fangirls Attack is your best bet for links to posts on the worlds of super-females.
