Per the documentary, 3% of decision-making positions in media companies are held by women, so most comics, films, and TV shows that feature women are designed or approved by men. The result can range from the occasionally empowering to the usually inane.
This documentary looks at all three of the mentioned media types, but it starts and finishes with Wonder Woman, from her formation in the early 1940s, through the years when she was mostly helpless and even gave up her powers, to her resurgence as a symbol of feminism and girrrl power.
