At the same time, she is not able to completely transcend other trappings, such as the default to a caregiver role, infantilization, or the problematic associations with ‘girl boss’ feminism. It is almost as if Squirrel Girl stands at the crossroads of post-feminism. The indecision as to which path to take runs the risk of disenfranchising the whole Marvel ecosystem. Readers need not be dedicated or long-term participants in the Marvel ecosystem to follow and appreciate the essays in this compilation. I consider myself a casual fan of the Marvel Universe, yet the examination of the female fan base still included me. Anecdotally, I have lived through the experience of feeling unwelcome at best, or objectified at worst, in the heterosexual male-dominated space that is a comic bookstore. Carr argues in the opening essay that Marvel has plenty of adjustments to make to address these and similar gaps in content creation for the fans that also model better female representation (1517). Yet, what history of improvement there is comes from women within the fan base who become official creators and continue to engage with the ecosystem that celebrated the heroines who both represented and inspired them to be extraordinary in mundane life.","PeriodicalId":278890,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132083794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel mirrors Camille's process of self-discovery, with part I devoted to Nina's principles, part II to Camille's implementation of them, and part III to the consequences of her decision to reject them. What may seem to be defeat for Camille in the conclusion is instead decisive proof of her agency. My analysis of the mentoring relationship argues for adding Decadent Feminism to an already extensive taxonomy of feminisms.","PeriodicalId":278890,"journal":{"name":"Rocky Mountain Review","volume":"366 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122358559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
