Stephanie H. - This was my daughter Penny at the Annapolis Comic Con in 2014; I think she was all of 10 months old. She took runner-up in the kids cosplay contest that year, and wound up on the front page of the Annapolis Capital Gazette. We chose Wonder Woman for her first foray into cosplay because we wanted her to know from the get-go that women can be fierce heroes in their own right. Life is filled with depictions of women waiting for their Prince Charming to come rescue them; we wanted to set a more positive tone for Penny's childhood. This is also why I'm raising her to be a nerd - comic books, sci-fi and fantasy are the only places in pop culture with strong female characters like Zoe, Buffy, Leia, and Ripley. Wonder Woman was one of the first; now, as the first major studio comic book film to be centered around a woman, she's still breaking barriers. I can't think of a better role model for my now-three year old!
