Abstract

The study discusses the ruptures and continuities in the representation of female stereotypes in the American comic book, Miss Fury (1941 - 1952), which featured the first superheroine of female authorship. In the US during World War II, a period of social and cultural transformation, women were encouraged to take jobs in all fields formerly occupied by men, including in the armed forces and in the comic book industry. Contributing to male displacement, comic books functioned as a sort of propaganda depicting the kind of woman the United States needed at that moment. It is the willingness to accept new roles and take advantage of serendipitous circumstances that the superheroine in Miss Fury represents
