Apr. 29th, 2011 12:30 amSo we have new blog called Superheroes Are For Girls, Too which is freaking adorable by way of being little girls dressed as their favourite heroes. Wonder Woman is obviously pretty well represented, but Supergirl and Batgirl are also firm favourites.
It seems to me pretty obvious that young girls need more heroes that a) look cool b) aren't distaff equivalents of existsing male heroes and c) don't have any kind of sexual assault in their backstory. Because that there's a superheroine trope that needs to end now, please. So I spent a day playing with Heromachine and came up with- well, if the JLA was British and comprised of 11 year old girls.
Biographies to follow!
