"Supernatural Girls" By: Kathleen Sweeney

In this article, "Supernatural Girls" by Kathleen Sweeney she goes on to explain how women in our society are growing to be more popular as power figures in our society today. Women have always been seen as being in distressed or not being able to fend for themselves. But after reading this article you can see how the media has portrayed women in a more independent and dominant way. Take for example, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Buffy; a blond, head cheerleader who had the power of a ninja really kicked butt throught out the serious. This tv show became the new hit, people from all over the world was watching how Michelle Gellar could kick peoples butt's even men's. Another example, would be Hermoine Granger, who was the main women character of Harry Potter's books and movies. Harry Potter became an all time hit once out in the theatres involving Hermoine who was the brains of the operation. Hermoine was Harry's best girl friend who always knew how to get Harry and Ron (both boys) out of trouble. She was unique character because she was a women dominating over the men. Throught out the centuries we as a society began to look at women in a whle new perspective. Today there are many women starring in movies, tv shows, etc. who are trully kicking some butt. Thats a great impression we can set for us today, to show men that we don't mess around.
