‘Wonder Woman’ opened last weekend, raking in more than $100 million in sales, a record for a movie directed by a woman. Women and girls are flocking to see Princess Diana, with superpowers bestowed by the Greek gods, emerge from her female island utopia to fight evil. Wonder Woman has been hailed as a feminist icon by many, and also derided by some as overly focused on her sex appeal. We want to hear from you: What do you think of Wonder Woman? And which female character in movies or literature has been a role model to you?
