‘Wonder Woman’ opened last weekend, raking in more than $100 million in sales, a record for a movie directed by a woman.

Wonder Woman has been hailed as a feminist icon by many, and also derided by some as overly focused on her sex appeal. We want to hear from you: What do you think of Wonder Woman? And which female character in movies or literature has been a role model to you?
