[00:00:05.340]
In this class we explore the fascinating history
[00:00:07.910]
of female action heroes, in American film and television.
[00:00:11.210]
Focusing mostly the last half century.
[00:00:14.010]
We will focus on why these stories were popular
[00:00:16.630]
in the time periods in which they emerged,
[00:00:18.770]
and how these characters, and their adventures
[00:00:21.260]
reflect social attitudes about womens' roles
[00:00:24.140]
in society, womens' abilities and strengths,
[00:00:27.160]
and the evolution of our
[00:00:28.350]
cultural understanding of feminism.
[00:00:30.720]
We will look at figures you might expect,
[00:00:32.550]
like Wonder Woman and Supergirl,
[00:00:34.460]
as well as, characters you may be less familiar with,
[00:00:36.760]
or, who you might not have initially put in this category.
[00:00:39.990]
Ranging from Foxy Brown to Jessica Jones, to Disney's Moana.
[00:00:44.680]
I hope you'll join us.
