    It is not because of a masculine trait that makes a person powerful, but rather, it’s because of what they do that makes them powerful. In Nell Brinkley’s ‘‘“Golden Eyes” and her Hero, “Bill”, Over There ' and Charles Moulton’s Wonder Woman comics, both series consistently remind the reader that the protagonists, Golden Eyes and Wonder Woman, are still women underneath everything that they do. They are still beautiful women with feminine characteristics and they are never once mistaken or considered as a man. It is never implied that they are strong because they take on the image of a man, but rather, they are strong because they have chosen to stand up and fight for what is right. These women maintain their identities and, as a result, both…

    Spring is one of my favorite seasons. Everyone is getting out of that winter slump, the plants are coming back to life, and the birds are singing.

Allergies drive me crazy, but at the same time, I’m amazed at how it works and the reason behind having allergies.…
