As I mentioned in my post about Butterfly, the first black superheroine, I’ll be observing the month with a series of posts highlighting some of the most influential and historically important female superheroes in comics. Each Monday in March, I’ll publish a different superheroine spotlight similar to those in my Black Superheroes for Black History Month series.
Join me this Monday when we’ll take a look at the first heroine with her own title: Sheena, Queen of the Jungle!
[Update: You can also now check out the posts on Sheena, the first heroine to star in her own comic; Olga Mesmer, Fantomah, and Woman in Red, the three heroines with claims to being the first superheroine; the Red Tornado (Ma Hunkel), the first crossdressing superheroine; and Wonder Woman.]
