( Ten items of reading material that influenced me as a kid )
Update: I just put "Miss Piggy feminist icon" into Google and found this:
As a way of introduction, let us compare Star Trek: The Next Generation's beautiful Counselor Troi to SwineTrek's equally stunning First Mate Piggy. Both shows are now in reruns, had male captains with problem- hair, and featured "space age" uniforms.
Miss Piggy was first mate in 1981. Yet on the 1990s Starship Enterprise, the highest ranking women are only caretakers. Troi is subordinate to two men, one of them a former lover. On the other hand, Piggy is only technically a first mate; it's clear from her behavior that she is the one who runs the show; Captain Link is simply a buffoon. Which of these two seemingly similiar women is the true feminist? Besides, Piggy would never be forced into a v-neck polyester body stocking; too utterly tacky for her!
There must be more surely.
Really going to bed now.
