Little Girl Crying After Meeting The ‘Wonder Woman’ Shows The Impact Female Leads Can Have

‘Wonder Woman’ has broken barriers like no film has in the recent past. A female super hero in the truest sense. Gal Gadot has been an inspiration to so many. She has time and again shown the power of a woman. (She shot for the film when she was five months pregnant.)

Gal Gadot will return as Wonder Woman after the sequel of the film was officially announced at San Diego Comic Con. Fans couldn’t be happier to see their favourite super hero back. Gal had such a powerful impact on the minds of young girls and this incident proves exactly that!

 

This little girl who was dressed as Wonder Woman couldn’t believe her fate when she met Gal. Overwhelmed with emotions, the little superhero couldn’t hold back her tears. But it was Gal’s words of encouragement that prove that she indeed is a wonder woman!

After the video went viral, a user claiming to be the mother of the little girl thanked Gal for giving her daughter memories that would last a life time.

That was my daughter. She was so happy to meet her that she was tearing up. Gal was so sweet to her. Memories of a lifetime!

Such is the impact of a female lead on young minds especially girls. Films, music, and television are such major influencers in our lives that we need to think about how we would want to shape minds and lives. Wonder Woman is the first step in the right direction.

Kudos to the entire team of Wonder Woman for breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes! We needed this.
