The Female Force

A few artists have created comic books depicting the lives of influential women in current U.S. politics.

No invisible jets or bracelets that deflect gun fire, just lots of back story. Current editions include Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Caroline Kennedy and first lady Michelle Obama.

I have to admit, my initial reaction ran along the lines of “what were they thinking?” But now, I’m wondering if a graphic novel treatment will help young girls and boys to see strong, accomplished women in a better light.

Take a look at some of these comic books and let us know what you think.
