Supertrace
by Peter Griffith
Tracey has super-powers – she can fly through space at million times the speed of light, and she knows everything. But everywhere she goes – at school, in the job-centre, or in her first office-job – men are unable to take her seriously because she is a woman.
Even when she saves the world from terrorism or heroically defends the universe against the appalling Quark of Brolth, her main problems have to do with the sexist prejudices of her male opponents. And when she comes to look for a boyfriend, her difficulties seem insurmountable!
Supertrace is a lively comedy that uses fantasy and comic-book humour to make fun of sexist stereotyping. The accompanying Teachers’ Pack includes exercises and ideas for discussion about feminism and the role of women in different societies in the world today.
