The article describes a Supernatural Girl as, “bursting out of the 'girl' category box.” Meaning that they, “transcend gender expectations, defend themselves, and vanquish demons.” Males are usually the ones who define power and protection. However, movies such as Harry Potter and The Incredibles, promote girl power. Hermione, from Harry Potter, is able to defend herself and friends from evil. Meanwhile, Violet, from The Incredibles, is able to defend her family from a superhero-wanna-be.
Girls are becoming more powerful, which is a positive thing, and is especially important for younger girls to recognize that. I personally feel that it is inspiring to see a female stand up for what she feels is right. Even outside of movies, shows such as SVU and CSI are promoting high ranked woman in the work place. Movie and show writers should keep up the good work.
