Lady Comic Book History
Hello! I am Alexandrea Callaghan the author and podcaster of Lady Comic Book History and I am here to talk about the history of women in comics. First I want to tell you a little bit about how I got into this. It was COVID, we had all been locked up for maybe a month and I decided that I wanted to start a podcast about female superheroes. Now I wasn’t really sure what that was going to look like, but as I went down the rabbit hole of existing superhero history podcasts I noticed that there weren’t any that were doing what I wanted to do, which ended up being a simple chronicle of the history of female comic book characters. So few characters actually stand the test of time and the treatment of women in comics has always been a little questionable. And I wanted there to be a clear and thorough documentation of this history all in one place. Several books and other accounts are also extremely inaccurate and I needed to clear that up. So you guys are going to get a super fast forwarded version of the book I wrote that goes into this history in an even more in depth way then my podcast does. A lot of what I do revolves around getting people to understand that media doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It does directly affect our daily lives and how we view and interact with the world. It's never just a comic or just a tv show. And it is ALWAYS that deep. I use philosophical, psychological and sociological evidence, these are things in making up, this is not my opinion. These are facts that have been true since the beginning of art and humanity. But today I only have 40 minutes to talk to you guys so we are just going pure history. I am going to take you through what I have deemed some of the most impactful and important moments for women in comics, including the women themselves. So we are starting at the very beginning in 1938.

James Van Der Beek
For a generation, the name James Van Der Beek is inextricably linked with one character: Dawson Leery from the iconic teen drama Dawson's Creek. His face, filled with earnest ambition and teenage angst, became a defining image of late-90s television. But to reduce his career to that single role is to miss the fascinating journey of an actor who has consciously and creatively navigated the challenging path from teen idol to respected character actor.
