"Supernatural Girls"

In the essay "Supernatural Girls" by Kathleen Sweeney she talks about the supernatural girls on television shows starting to emerge in the 1990's. She used many examples that many of us may be familiar with such as, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, X-Men, and Harry Potter. I agree with what she is saying, supernatural girls have given females a different reputation now. Young girls look at these supernatural girls in television as role models. I know when I was little I use to always watch the Power Rangers and wanted to be just like the pink female range. She could beat up all the guys, I thought that was so cool. Also watching the Power Rangers lead me to play sports with all the boys instead of girls because I felt I was accomplishing more by beating a boy at a sport. I mean the Pink Power ranger always beat up the boys so thats what i wanted to do through sports. I wanted to have the power that the Pink Power Ranger had which is what Sweeney talks about in this essay. For example Buffy in the television show was a powerful female that many younger females looked up to her. Every child has a role model of some sort and they try to be just like their role model.
