Publication history So, it was a bit of wish fulfillment (for that character, not necessarily for me as the writer), and a bit of practicality to reflect something that was real in our society, i.e. Plus, she’s a minority, and that adds another whole layer of disadvantage that she has to overcome. That’s a horribly sexist reality we were dealing with. There were very few potential jobs that would provide the potential resources and money that a character like Vixen would need to carry on a super-hero career. What were the jobs available to women in the mid- to late-70s? Clerical work. There were not that many active role models regarding careers for women at that time where you could reasonably say: this woman would have the resources to maintain a career as a super-heroine.

To a lesser degree they had Supergirl, Power Girl (who I also created), and Wonder Girl. One of them had been lead female super-heroes. Surveying the titles that they have, it seemed to me there were some obvious openings for characters that had been underrepresented. Or, let me put it this way: there was an opportunity, as DC was looking for additional books. ".what I was trying to address was what I perceived to be a lack of strong female leads in DC’s comics at the time.
