Women of Marvel is celebrating Women’s History month by highlighting four of the artists that are featured in the Women of Marvel exhibit at Disney Hotel NY in Disneyland Paris. Host Ellie Pyle interviews artists Peach Momoko, Elena Casagrande, Stephanie Hans, and Natacha Bustos about their their life, their journeys, and their pieces in the exhibit.
Women of Marvel closes out our season on mentorship by bringing three “generations” of Marvel comics editors together for a roundtable conversation: Jenny Lee (Wolverine, Daredevil: Redemption, Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra), MacKenzie Cadenhead (Avengers and Power Pack, X-Men and Power Pack, New Warriors, Elektra: The Hand), and Sana Amanat (Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, The Mighty Captain Marvel). Jenny mentored Mackenzie, who mentored Sana, who is a friend and role model to our three hosts!
Valeria Richards has had a complicated life with various influences….good and bad.  In the Fantastic Four, Sue Storm is a loving mother, leader, and mentor to Valeria. Conversely, in Marvel’s Wastelander’s podcast, Valeria’s parents are dead, and the only person left who can match her intellect is Victor Von Doom. We examine and contrast these two very different mentors in Valeria’s life.
Storm and Kitty Pryde

Storm and Kitty Pryde

The X-Men fostered one of the greatest mentor relationships in the Marvel Universe – the one between Storm and her “Kitten”, Kate Pryde. Kitty first enrolled at Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters at age 13 and Storm helped her become the leader she is today. Marvel’s own Robyn Belt walks us through their relationship via some key 1980s X-Men issues featuring heartbreak, Cyclops, Storm’s mohawk hairstyle, and more! Read Robyn’s 2020 Mother’s Day article on Marvel.com featuring Storm and Kitty here: “Listen to These Super Hero Moms, They Know Things”
Possibly the most visible example of female empowerment in the Marvel Universe is the relationship between Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. We explore how Kamala’s admiration for Carol is foundational to her character, especially at the beginning – literally taking up Carol’s former mantle - and how Carol’s lessons helped Kamala grow into herself as a hero.
Women of Marvel travels to Wakanda this week to meet the incredible women in that world! Host Angélique talks to legendary artist Alitha Martinez about Wakanda in the comics and specifically Black Panther: World of Wakanda (2016).

Meet Moon Girl, the certified genius 9-year-old Inhuman with a dinosaur sidekick and a pair of rollerskates! Host Angélique talks to two writers – both the writer of the upcoming Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2022) #1 and one of the co-creators of her character. They explore how a genius like Lunella can still have a lot to learn from mentors like Ms. Marvel and Wolverine and from connecting with peers as a mentor figure herself.

It's utterly ridiculous that Marvel and DC comics have so many superheroes and villains to choose from yet they resort to gender swapping male characters to female.

what a great episode, I really enjoyed hearing from Jo Duffy, an underrated and talented writer who's work I've enjoyed since Crystar! How about getting her back for a longer career- retrospective interview?

I'm so tired of seeing posts from sad, lonely men whose only interaction with women is to disparage and disrespect them. Grow up, guys. if you weren't such petulant children, women might even be interested in having a conversation with you.

this podcast although about women of marvel is a load of feminist hurt feeling victimisation (ironically)bullshit. probably why you never hear a female hero crying about how hard it is to be a woman and things not fair is because they are not pathetic feminists.

Imagine purposefully seeking out one of the few places that discusses women/feminism etc just so you can get offended by it. Grow up.
