The cyber age and digital media have not only altered functions and aesthetics of modern technology but also the way women are presented in cinematic productions. Whether in film, in television, or in video games, a new archetype is taking shape: the action female protagonist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrit Fussfeld Cohen, PhD, a researcher of novel aesthetics in digital films, discusses the connection between viewers' shifting cultural perceptions and cinematic manifestations of female heroism in action and adventure presentations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough female characters have gained empowering attributes in the past, \u003ci\u003eThe Digital Woman\u003c\/i\u003e describes how computer technology portrays revolutionary depictions of women proving to be equal or superior rather than passive and submissive.
