The Hidden Science Behind the Strong Female Character

Do you want to know how to write a strong female character? That’s the big question we’re tackling today. Black Widow and Captain Marvel are two of the most iconic “strong female characters” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe… but what if I told you that one of them is stronger than the other? And it’s NOT the one with superpowers? In this video, we’re going to explore the differences between these two characters and solve the mystery of why so many people love Black Widow, and why so many people hate Captain Marvel. Is there a science behind the strong female character? Let’s figure it out.

Don’t forget to donate to the fundraiser on this video to help Operation Underground Railroad to rescue children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation. 100% of your donations today will go straight to fund missions to set kids free.

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
