So, has anyone else read Times' The 100 Most Influential People Who Never Lived?
It's been interesting. Some of the character articles are written by those that portrayed them, like...
"I love how Wonder Woman epitomized and became a symbol of the empowerment of women. I never viewed her strength as constituting an attack on men or as an attack to diminish them in any respect but, rather, saw her as representing women as equals. To this day, I view the character as a voice of equality as we continue the real-world fight for civil rights for all. Not surprisingly, Wonder Woman's fans, and my fans, are drawn from the entire population: female, male, straight, gay, old and young."
-Lynda Carter
Then, a few pages later, Buffy Summers' article is written by a journalist but Joss Whedon is quoted as saying, "The very first mission statement of the show was the joy of female power: having it, using it, sharing it."
No appearances by Avengers; characters or actors but Patrick Stewart writes about Shylock and I will never get tired of that Harry Potter photo shoot.
I will admit that I initially balked at the price, $12.99, but you could easily skim through the relevant articles at the store without buying it.
