I grew up in the shadow of the late 60s and 70s Women Liberation movement. In talking about Lois Lane with my daughter I realized how much the culture has changed from when I was her age. However, I remained outwardly calm as we talked about the book and the character in general. Then? “I loved it.” I can’t even tell you how excited I was. My daughter read Fallout and said to me “About that Lois Lane book?” I braced myself to hear what would break my heart. The young adult novel Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond was an unexpected meeting point. They were not interested beyond the animated and live action. When I had my kids I thought I could share my comics and my favorite character. When I was little I’d go with my dad to the drug store and he’d buy the Sunday paper for himself and a Superman’s Girlfriend, Lois Lane comic for me.
