<![CDATA[This study analyzes the 2017 film Wonder Woman through Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity to explore how the narrative challenges patriarchal norms and redefines women’s roles in society. Using a feminist lens, the analysis highlights Diana’s experiences as she navigates contrasting gender expectations between Themyscira and patriarchal London. The study produces three key findings: 1) Diana’s resistance to restrictive social roles and clothing illustrates Butler’s view that gender is performed rather than innate; 2) her alienation within patriarchal London reflects the instability of gender identity when confronted with rigid societal norms; and 3) the solidarity between Diana and other women underscores Butler’s emphasis on collective resistance against oppressive structures. Ultimately, Wonder Woman emerges as a cultural text that embodies feminist ideals, inspiring new perspectives on empowerment, identity, and the reimagining of gender roles in modern society.]]>
