Book description
There are a lot of problems with this book, but before I talk about the problems I think its very important to point out that while Trina often shoots and misses when she writes a book, she is very often shooting in an area where no other writers are aiming, and that makes her incredibly valuable. There are scores of women cartoonists who would be forgotten without Trinas historical records in such books as this one, and that makes Trina herself a treasure. Thanks, Trina. Now, that said...she often needs to slow down in her research. Tomboy, for instance, was not a Marvel Comics character, and there are numerous other similar mistakes throughout the book. Also, Trina is a dedicated feminist, which is fantastic, except when she pushes the bar too far. This most often causes her problems when she upgrades women cartoonists simply because they are women, rather than for the quality of the work they produced. Worse, she often takes the erroneous stance that to push feminism is to denigrate masculinity, and often does so with a far too broad sweep of her pen. One classic example is when, in defense of critics saying that early issues of Wonder Woman have a lot of bondage, she writes it all off by saying male writers (as if they were the ONLY gender to point out the inherent bondage of early Wonder Woman comics)do not take into account that the Amazons are women, who show their emotions, and hug. Then, she follows this with...On the other hand, American men are notoriously afraid of being considered homosexual, and never touch each other except when playing sports.Gee, Trina. Generalize much? And hows your judge / jury / executioner position working out for you? You at least seem to enjoy the job. Secondly...youre blind. And its not uncommon in your writings. Im not sure WHY you decided to take a multi-page stand that early Wonder Woman comics DONT have a lot of bondage, but the merest bit of open eye research will disprove that. A quick flip through my Wonder Woman archives reveals two nice examples. In Woman Woman # 3, the Amazons celebrate Diana Day by dressing up like deer, and are then hunted by the other Amazons, who symbolically shoot down the deer, tie them up, then hang them by their wrists, strip them of their deer costumes and place them (all very willingly) in giant pies, from where they must spring up on the dining table and do a dance to serve their hunters. Gosh. No subtext there. In that SAME issue is a story of slave girls who, when freed of their chains, absolutely refuse to work or play until the chains are replaced. They LOVE being slaves. And how does Wonder Woman solve this dilemma? Is it by giving a stirring speech about freedom? Well, no. Instead, there is a panel of a wistful Wonder Woman, with birds singing in the background, and Wonder Woman is thinking, If girls want to be slaves theres no harm in that. The bad thing for them is submitting to a master or to an evil mistress like Paula. A good mistress could do wonders for them!Honestly. There ISNT any subtext there. Because its OUTRIGHT STATED. Ahhh...theres more, but why go on. This book is worth checking out because a lot of forgotten super-heroines get their moment in the sun, and Trinas writings, as I noted to begin with, are also always worth the price. Theyre a little raw in areas, but Trina is doing the industry a great service with her work.
