Abstract

The present research is oriented to the analysis from the graphical point of view of the influence of the second, third and fourth wave of feminism in the graphic transformations of character design of Wonder Woman in the feature films of 2017, 2019 and 2020

From the above, elements related to the symbolism of the character were analyzed not only in its physical and psychological characteristics, but the particularities of each wave in its historical context and transformations of the feminist movement reflected in each of the films. In addition to this, the meanings of the construction of the character in terms of his clothing and the relationship with aspects such as empowerment and feminine strength were evaluated.

In this sense, we identified findings of elements belonging to each of the Waves reflected in the productions, it is important to emphasize that Wonder Woman shows the power of women over the patriarchal system that crosses all the Waves of feminism; that is why Wonder Woman has ended some of the stereotypes under which the image of women has been defined in the scenarios of fiction from two different perspectives; the first to leave a woman as protagonist of superhero stories and the second to take for granted a call to gender equality.
