Today Only! Wonder Women: The Untold Story of American Superheroines

WONDER WOMEN!: The Untold Story of American Superheroines

A film by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan

Panel discussion with Australian Wonder Women

Eastside FM invites you to celebrate International Women’s Day 2014 with us as we present the the first ever Sydney screening of Wonder Women! The documentary traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, Wonder Women! introduces audiences to a dynamic group of superheroines fighting for positive role models for girls and women, both on screen and off.

Wonder Women! goes behind the scenes with actors Lynda Carter and Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real-life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna (Julie Ruin/Le Tigre/Bikini Kill), Trina Robbins and others, who offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre.

Join us straight after the film for a fun panel discussion with some Australian wonder women: DC Comic artist Nicola Scott, roller derby star Feisty Cuffs, manga artist extraordinaire Queenie Chan and sensationally cool astrologist Mystic Medusa who will be chatting with filmmaker and journalist Daz Chandler.

WIN! Each ticket holder will also go into the draw to win an original Butcher Billy Post Punk Super Friends Wonder Woman T-shirt [pictured].
