History
Enchantress
The Lady Liberators were a team of female superheroes who operated on Earth. The female members of the Avengers are gathered for a secret meeting by a person calling herself Valkyrie. The heroes gathered included the Wasp, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Medusa. Valkyrie explains that she was a brilliant scientist who constantly suffered from the sexism and dismissive attitudes of men. One of her experiments granted her superhuman abilities, and now she wishes to help the women Avengers address the sexism in their own lives by confronting their male teammates and demanding their own power and formidability be recognized. She points out times each of the women present has been overlooked, ignored, or unfairly judged in relation to their gender. The female Avengers agree and join with Valkyrie as a new team, the Lady Liberators. The female members of the Avengers are gathered for a secret meeting by a person calling herself Valkyrie.

After the battle is finished, Clint Barton criticizes feminism in general, telling the women Avengers, "You birds finally learned your lesson about that women's lib bull!". The Scarlet Witch immediately defends feminism and warns that if necessary the Lady Liberators may reform one day with Wasp agreeing. (Avengers v1 #83)
