I came across the book Wonder Women by Lillian Robinson today. It looks at the history of female superheroes with a feminist perspective. You can read excerpts with She-Hulk if you go to google books and search for Lillian Robinson and She-Hulk. From her perspective She-Hulk is less a role model for female empowerment and sisterhood but rather simply about raw female power. I coulda’ told her that. As this book came out in 2004 the sections on She-Hulk are about the Savage and Sensational versions and the transition between the two rather than the current series by Dan Slott. Seeing as how Lillian Robinson died in September of 2006 this book won't ever be updated, and that is too bad. I’d have liked to see her insights on the new She-Hulk series.
-I love you She-Hulk

I remember a nice, but ineffectual boss I had for a short time in D.C. had a Wonder Woman statue on her desk.
She referred to it sometimes in her department speeches, her "inspiration"...or so she said.
I don't agree to use comics heroes to express feelings or opinions like feminism, She is going by the wrong way.
