These Photos Show Exactly Why Wonder Woman Is So Important

"Why representation always matters: Wonder Woman edition."

Source: Buzz Feed

...

It's also already inspiring a country full of little girls looking for a strong female superhero.




People have been sharing photos of their daughters dressed up as the character at home, at events, and even at advance screenings of the movie.




And honestly, it's pretty much impossible to not feel emotional, inspired, or both looking at them.




It's almost too much!!!!




And they say you should never meet your heroes...

at the Princeton Univ reunions yesterday referred to herself, unironically, as "a 23-year-old girl". I called out "woman!!" and she got a little pissed off, saying "I'm comfortable with being a girl."

Dumbfounded. Just dumbfounded.

Wonder Woman can't get here soon enough.

I remember being awed at Wonder Woman comics, way back when.
delighted at the renewed interest, and hope the movie is everything a little girl can dream of.
