Table of ContentsReviewsGendered Defenders is a welcome piece of the larger puzzle of scholarship on superheroes and their connections to genre and gender. Engaging meaningfully with intersectional elements of femininity including ethnicity, sexuality, class, and trauma, it elevates superheroines as an access point to a range of issues of importance for modern women. --Jeffrey A. Brown, author of Beyond Bombshells: The New Action Heroine in Popular Culture We need a book like this to help navigate the meaning of some of the most prominent representations of female heroism. Gendered Defenders is a valuable stepping-stone for future post-feminist and queer perspectives on these same characters. --Terrence Wandtke, author of The Meaning of Superhero Comic Books Author InformationBryan J.
