Occasionally, there is a movie or a documentary that changes your entire world view. This is not one of those times. The PBS Independent Lens documentary, Wonder Women, reaffirms everything we talk about on Game on Girl. Women (and men!) want strong heroes of both genders. Even better than that, they have a game for you to explore becoming a superhero your self. Give Wonder City a visit.
Along with this fascinating show, we talk about the best Tumblr we’ve ever seen: Little Girls R Better at Designing Superheroes than You. Go look. You’re bound to fall in love.
As always, we’d love your feedback. Leave us a comment here with your favorite idea for your own superhero or super power.
Until next time, game on!
