Your thesis. Yep. Because asking random people on the Internet is adequate sourcing. Even if we come up with good ideas, you need to find actual sources for them.

Isn't part of a thesis coming up with nuanced questions rather than throwing out random genericities?

What is "the female character"? Heroines? Sidekicks? Love interests? Villains? Combinations?

Also, changed from when to when? Females had a fairly good representation during the war (when many women worked in comics) but America's brainfart, the 1950s, changed much of that. Or do you mean from the buttfloss of the nineties to the more cosplay-friendly present? Or the ever-present Women in Refridgerators Syndrome?
