A inspirational novel about a Miami-based dancer, who mothers a daughter before engaging in the super-heroic act of becoming a surrogate for another couple. • Explore the modern parenting option for surrogacy • Lean into emotions of being a co-parent • Learn about the IVF method and fertility clinics • Navigate conversations around adoption and gay parenting. The protagonist, Katie Washington, a career woman, dreams of becoming a dancer in Miami and joins an international entertainment company. Without wanting to give up on her career, and with a deep desire to become a mother, Katie's journey leads her into discovering about platonic parenting, or co-parenting and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). She's left one night, overwhelmed, with a plethora of questions: What is IVF? Will IVF work? Are IVF babies different? How is IVF done? Is IVF wrong? After some tough decisions with her career & relationship, she has one daughter via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with her non-romantic partner, Luke, who helps her balance her career and motherhood, as she continues to soar her way to success in the business world. Katie, being a leader in female empowerment, manages a posse of women who come from all walks of life, including one woman, named Amy, who can't have a baby after contracting HIV. Katie learns about surrogacy from another dancer and offers to become a surrogate mom for Amy. She’s yet at another crossroads. What will be a surrogate mean to her life? Can a surrogate keep the baby? How does surrogacy work? Why be a surrogate? How will she feel after being a surrogate? What will others think? After tragedy strikes, Katie becomes an advocate for women and launches a surrogacy agency for a cause that is rising, both regionally and globally, which looks at modern-day issues and taboos around the topic like surrogacy for money, the health challenges, adoption and fostering alternatives, women freezing and preserving their eggs for future use, in case of illness, and gay/lesbian parents and surrogating. The inspirational novel speaks to surrogate mothers, women empowerment advocates, and rising female stars who are balancing their careers and their families, as well as to couples who have modern-day arrangements, such as non-romantic, co-parenting and living apart together. It also speaks to issues in the LGBTQ communities. Pick up your copy of Pretty Girl Complex: The Story of a Superheroine today to capture the opportunities and misconceptions of modern-day trends and to empower you to live a life of brilliance, unconventionally. “In our society, where the magnitude of external success and personal image often has a matching disconnect to the internal psyche, the author challenges us to see the complexity of every relationship as told through the eyes of characters that most people don’t write about.” – Allyn Reid, Co-founder of the entrepreneurial conference series, Secret Knock, Executive Producer of the feature film, Wishman, and the first Filipino woman to summit Mount Kilimanjaro.

Hollywood’s live-action superhero films currently dominate the worldwide box-office, with the characters enjoying more notoriety through their feature film and television depictions than they have ever before. This book argues that this immense popularity reveals deep cultural concerns about politics, gender, ethnicity, patriotism and consumerism after the events of 9/11. Superheroes have long been agents of hegemony, fighting for abstract ideals of justice while overall perpetuating the American status quo. Yet at the same time, the book explores how the genre has also been utilized to question and critique these dominant cultural assumptions.

What if you can leap tall buildings and defeat alien monsters with your bare hands, but you buy your capes at secondhand stores and have a weakness for kittens? Cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks brings charming humor to the trials and tribulations of a young female superhero, battling monsters both supernatural and mundane in an all-too-ordinary world. The expanded edition collects the original Eisner Award-winning comic, two new stories, and new art from creators including Tyler Crook, Ron Chan, Jake Wyatt, Paulina Ganucheau, and more! The first collection won an Eisner Award (Best Publication for Kids) and has gone through 4 printings "This charming modern vision of a Superhero Girl features a young woman living an uncertain life, unsure of the best way to contribute to society. It's superhero as person instead of as corporate symbol or fight machine. We see her struggling with relatable elements of daily life, like keeping her mother informed of how things are going or having to replace her cape after it shrunk in the laundry. One of the best strips has Superhero Girl explaining to a fan how she too can be a superhero without having a horrible tragedy in her past. This strip shines because it's fresh and lighthearted without wallowing in angst. Her arch-nemesis is a normal guy who keeps telling her she's doing it wrong. She struggles to balance her calling with a paying day job but keeps forgetting to take her mask off. Her annoying perfect brother Kevin shows her up, and she struggles with whether to stay hero or take the easier, villainous way to riches. The comic is perfectly suited to Hicks's expressive figures and energetic storytelling. The perfect laugh-filled tonic for heavier angst-filled superhero series." -Publishers Weekly "Have you ever wanted a superhero who lives in your world? If so, you will love Faith Erin Hicks' Eisner-award-winning story of a young woman who happens to be a superhero. " -YALSA The Hub

Considering a variety of female superhero narratives, including World War II-era Wonder Woman comics, the 1970s television programs The Secrets of Isis and The Bionic Woman, and the more recent Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Education and the Female Superhero: Slayers, Cyborgs, Sorority Sisters, and Schoolteachers argues that they share a vision of education as the path to female empowerment. In his analysis, Andrew L. Grunzke examines female superheroes who are literally teachers or students, exploring examples of female superheroes whose alter egos work as schoolteachers or attend school during the workday and fight evildoers when they are outside the classroom. Taking a broader view of education, Grunzke argues that the superheroine in popular media often sees and articulates her own role as being an educator. In these narratives, female superheroes often take it upon themselves to teach self-defense tactics, prevent victimization, and encourage people (especially female victims) to pursue formal education. Moreover, Grunzke shows how superheroines tend to see their relationship with their adversaries as rehabilitative and educative, trying to set them on the correct path rather than merely subdue or dominate them.

The CW's hit adaptation of Supergirl is a new take on the classic DC character for a new audience. With diverse female characters, it explores different versions of the female experience. No single character embodies a feminist ideal but together they represent attributes of the contemporary feminist conversation. This collection of new essays uses a similar approach, inviting a diverse group of scholars to address the many questions about gender roles and female agency in the series. Essays analyze how the series engages with feminism, Supergirl's impact on queer audiences, and how families craft the show's feminist narratives. In the ever-growing superhero television genre, Supergirl remains unique as viewers watch a female hero with almost godlike powers face the same struggles as ordinary women in the series.

Asian-American superheroines Evie Tanaka and Aveda Jupiter protect San Francisco from perilous threats in the first book in Sarah Kuhn's snarky and smart fantasy trilogy • "The superheroine we’ve been waiting for." —Seanan McGuire Being a superheroine is hard. Working for one is even harder. Evie Tanaka is the put-upon personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, her childhood best friend and San Francisco’s most beloved superheroine. She’s great at her job—blending into the background, handling her boss’s epic diva tantrums, and getting demon blood out of leather pants. Unfortunately, she’s not nearly as together when it comes to running her own life, standing up for herself, or raising her tempestuous teenage sister, Bea. But everything changes when Evie’s forced to pose as her glamorous boss for one night, and her darkest secret comes out: she has powers, too. Now it’s up to her to contend with murderous cupcakes, nosy gossip bloggers, and supernatural karaoke battles—all while juggling unexpected romance and Aveda’s increasingly outrageous demands. And when a larger threat emerges, Evie must finally take charge and become a superheroine in her own right...or see her city fall to a full-on demonic invasion.

This collection of essays analyzes the many ways in which comic book and film superheroes have been revised or rewritten in response to changes in real-world politics, social mores, and popular culture. Among many topics covered are the jingoistic origin of Captain America in the wake of the McCarthy hearings, the post-World War II fantasy-feminist role of Wonder Woman, and the Nietzschean influences on the "sidekick revolt" in the 2004 film The Incredibles.
