Wonder Woman Wasn't the Only One
We girls are constantly looking for strong, independent, dynamic heroines in our fiction, movies and television. Sometimes we find them. Sometimes we don't.
This lens is dedicated to all the Wonder Womans, Princess Leias and Supergirls.
Wonder Woman
Created by William Moulton Marston in the 1940s, Wonder Woman first appeared All Star Comics #8 in December 1941. Since then, she has grown, evolved and became a feminist icon. So much so that when DC Comics attempted to take away Wonder Woman's superpowers and iconic uniform, Gloria Steinem went to bat for the fictional superheroine.
Currently, a Wonder Woman film is in development at Warner Brothers and the star-spangled outfit and red boots continue to be a staple of Halloween celebrations each year.
