Examining <em>Wonder Woman</em> through a Feminist Voice: How Patty Jenkins’ 2017 Adaptation Upheaved her Creation, Representation, and 80 Year Legacy

<p>This thesis aims to contribute to the scholarship on the modern female superhero by exploring Patty Jenkins’ 2017 film <em>Wonder Woman</em> and how the female super-heroine is viewed. In this study I look at Jill Lepore’s renowned novel <em>The Secret History of Wonder Woman</em>, Patty Jenkins’s 2017 film <em>Wonder Woman</em>, Signe Bergstrom’s <em>Wonder Woman: Ambassador of Truth</em>, Allison Harvey’s <em>Feminist Media Studies</em> and other scholarship as well as reviews of the film and articles pertaining to the feminist movement Patty Jenkins portrays in the film. First, I will explore Wonder Woman’s Creation and Intent. Second, I delve into Director Patty Jenkins and her Feminist Voice. Then I explore The Rejection of the Male Gaze in <em>Wonder Woman</em>. Finally, I examine at the legacy of <em>Wonder Woman</em> and how Patty Jenkins along with Gal Gadot has changed how Wonder Woman will be viewed.</p>
