Not that I had ever heard about the older ones either but this article came up and was interesting.

Not only do has the magazine tried to make more female heroes they have also shown men doing housework because they want to upset the old gender roles that are still in place in India (Yes, I'm talking about Indian as in, "Citizen of India", not "Native American.") and places like India this kind of diversity is needed even more than in Europe for example. (Not that female heroes would be a bad thing in European comics either but we've had them for so long that we take them as granted while in India female main character is more likely to be a damsel in distress than having any kind of active role in the plot.)

Damn, she's got an awesome look!

Also, I believe this is the way to challenge entrenched traditionalists. Just ignore their whining and go forward. Let them die off like the outdated relics they are.

Ignoring whining in general is the way to go.  The worst thing you can do is give in.  Give them an inch, and they take a mile.
