It’s been 40 years since the last female superhero

Despite all of the cultural shifts I’ve mentioned, we tend to forget that the time is right for female superheroes because we’ve been without any strong ones for so long. It’s simply a change in the tide. We cannot forget that it has been nearly 40 years since Wonder Woman was on television. We did not have a female superhero on television until Supergirl this year. Television and film are finally ready to embrace their female leads and heroes, again.
