- Summary:
- "Created by William Moulton Marston and introduced at the beginning of America's involvement in World War II, Wonder Woman--the fierce warrior and diplomat armed with bulletproof Bracelets of Victory, a golden tiara, and a Lasso of Truth--has been a pop-culture icon and one of the most enduring symbols of feminism for more than seventy-five years ... Signe Bergstrom examines Wonder Woman's diverse media representations from her wartime comic book origins to today's feature films, and explores the impact she has had on women's rights and empowerment and the fight for peace, justice, and equality across the globe"-- From the publisher.
