Marvel Comics New Superhero Will Be A Teenage Muslim Girl
Written by Mark Lounsbury, Posted on , in Section Therapy News
In a move meant to reach out to new audiences, Marvel Comics has announced that they will be releasing a new superhero. This wouldn't be particularly newsworthy if it wasn't for the specific details they've released about the new character. The new superhero will be a teenage Muslim girl named Kamala Kahn. This really breaks new ground for Marvel and is an important step in offering a more diverse and relateable group of potential role models for young girls around the country. Hopefully, other media continues this trend and begins to represent these groups that have traditionally been ignored. This would be a huge step forward for society in general.
Are New And Diverse Role Models Helping Young Girls
When examining the issue of this expanding base of role models, it is important to understand how these are helping young girls. Girls in general and particularly those who aren't white and middle class have traditionally been underrepresented in many forms of media. This can make it harder for them to form a strong sense of self-esteem and self-worth. With this new trend in media represented by Marvel's move in creating a new character, it is likely that this will continue to improve. This can only be positive for teenage girls across the country.
