In 1940,
William Moulton Marston kicked around the idea of a female comic book hero.
Published Max Gaines picked up the idea and gave Marston a platform. Wonder
Woman represented a new type of woman. To some, she represented female
empowerment. Others viewed her as a male fantasy complete with an outfit and
bondage kit. The next generation reinvented Wonder Woman providing her
mythological roots. In the seventies, the women’s movement embraced her raising
her profile and leading to a stint in the Justice League. In 2011, DC Comics rebooted the character
once more making her a demigod and thrusting her into a relationship with
Superman.
