The Supergirls

THE SUPERGIRLS by Mike Madrid
A passionate, subjective history of female superheroes in comics from the Golden Age through today depicts how Wonder Woman, Storm, Batgirl et al have changed to reflect, and at times influence society’s mores. A lack of relevant illustrations is disappointing, however (and will force non-geeks to do some image Googling).

any mention of Batgirl is appreciated. I know this isn't a reference to comics per se, but how psyched I was anytime the suped-up Commissioner's daughter made an appearance on that fine 60's show.
