No superheroes for girls?

I was just sent a link to this Guardian story, and thought HC readers might like to peruse it. Feminist writer Cath Elliott takes serious umbrage to the idea that young girls don't pretend to have super powers or look up to superheroes, as was implied in a British report on how to improve educational outcomes. Elliott also mentions some of our HC favorites as counter examples.
