Women in Refrigerators

Women in Refrigerators (or WiR) is a website created in 1999 by a group of feminists and comic book fans, and more broadly a common comic book trope from which the website took its name. The website features a list of female comic book characters who have been injured, killed, or depowered as a plot device within various superhero comic books, and seeks to analyze why these plot devices are used disproportionately on female characters.
