On NPR's All Things Considered, Alison Keyes discusses Catwoman. Although the DC comics character has become, Keyes writes, "a symbol of feminine power," she started out as a villain, foil and whip-carrying burglar for Batman to battle in 1940. Later, in the campy '60s TV series Batman, Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt turned the Catwoman character into a fierce, gorgeous, smart woman who happens to be a bad girl. Catwoman has had her own comic for 15 years, and if you don't follow these things you may not know: She's changed from the saucy minx we once knew.
