Termed by its creators, TR Rose Associates, Inc., as “America's first true female super-hero since Wonder Woman,” the comic book details the adventures of a woman who helps others.

The company says the series will challenge currently held ideas about mothers and other caregivers.

Termed a “feminist career heroine,” she will “have politicians and hairdressers, women and girls, hardhats and female executives, right along with caregivers re-thinking personal and social policy, including Social Security.”

Not to be soft, according to its creators, Carrie will be ”kicking butt in the name of hundreds of millions of people, especially mothers, who give care to the young and old alike each and every day.”

Neal Adams has provided the cover art in support for the book's social justice message of helping unpaid family caregivers as they create wealth for our economy and sustain our society.

Highlights “The Mammogram Generation”

The comic book attempts to reflect what the authors claim is the growing attention now being paid to America's rapidly growing generation of caregivers.

Labeled by the company as “the mammogram generation” (squeezed on both sides), it postulates an environment where the aging boomer generation will itself soon to be in need of care themselves.

Drawing on what it terms the growing trend of first time Hollywood moms, it purports to be posed against both a “right wing view of motherhood-or-nothing” and the career-first pressures of many other women.

Claiming that 2006 is the perfect time for media outlets to talk about the value of caregiving to both children and older people, it explores, the reality of unpaid caregiving and how it affects most Americans.

Its motto seems to be summed up in a subtext that says:

“We all come into the world in need of care. We all exit the same way. Sooner or later, most of us become caregivers.”
