Claim: Jeannine Hall Gailey, an American poet from Connecticut, writes works that gloss over feminist issues in pop culture.
Evidence: Her work addresses feminist issues of power in mythology and comic book cultures, turning fairy tale stepmothers into empathetic characters, and holding up a mirror to contemporary American culture's images of powerful women. Gailey's second full-length book of poetry, She Returns to the Floating World, deals with feminine transformations in the personae of characters from Japanese folk tales, anime, and manga.
