A Wonder-ful herstory - By: Kurt A. Johnson, 23 Jul 2003
This highly pictorial history (or should I say “herstory”) of Wonder Woman has just about everything in it that you could want. Beginning with Wonder Woman’s origination in the mind of Harvard-trained psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston, continuing through to her rebirth as the new Wonder Woman in 1968, through Gloria Steinem’s work to bring her back, through the television show, through today. Along the way there are many reproductions of comic book covers & comics, pictures of paraphernalia (e.g. toys, cards, macaroni, etc.), & sidebars discussing such things as lie detectors, other comic book heroines, & such.

This is a great book that taught me many things that I did not know, about her origins, who she was written for & why. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in Wonder Woman or in comic books in general.
