Wonder woman is one of the greatest superheroes of all time. She was conceived as a symbol of loving femininity that would dominate the male instincts towards war and destruction; she does this through empowerment.

They began to be doing a lot more political aspects like men and they are able to follow their own ideas and have more power to do so.

Phenomenal Woman is a dramatic poem by Maya Angelou about the love a woman has for herself even with her flaws.

Through her poem‚ Angelou speaks to all women‚ beautiful or
