I get a lot of letters from young girls, and parents of young girls saying that [Peggy Carter] is a really positive role model. That’s when this career opens up the potential for responsibility because young people are watching those films, and they’re influenced by the way women are depicted. To have someone in a male-dominated environment who’s smart and not running around in Spandex looking like a sex-symbol is refreshing.
