An investigation into the origins of comic book heroine Wonder Woman, who emerged in 1941 from the imagination of William Moulton Marston. Lepore argues that Wonder Woman is the missing link in the history of the struggle for women's rights.
Wonder Woman, created in 1941, is the most popular female superhero of all time. This book uncovers a trove of documents, including the private papers of William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman's creator.
