A behind-the-scenes look at the creation and evolution of Wonder
Woman, the iconic character who has inspired generations of girls and
women as a symbol of female strength and power.
Perhaps the most popular female superhero of all time, Wonder Woman was
created by Bill Marston in 1941, upon the suggestion of his wife,
Elizabeth. Wonder Woman soon showed what women can do--capture enemy
soldiers, defeat criminals, become president, and more. Her path since
has inspired women and girls while echoing their ever-changing role in
society. Now a new group of devoted young fans enjoy her latest films,
Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, and await a third installation
being planned for theatrical release. This exceptional book raises up
the many women who played a part in her evolution, from Elizabeth
Marston to writer Joye Hummel to director Patty Jenkins, and makes clear
that the fight for gender equality is still on-going.
