The Secret History of Wonder Woman
by Jill Lepore
I had a hard time deciding between two and three on this one. An enthralling topic is presented well in the first third of the book and then an intense amount of detail serves to weaken it. There is also not much about Wonder Woman until roughly the last fourth of the book.
Otherwise, this is a fascinating history of feminism that makes me incredibly sad that its gains have been defused so badly in recent years. It's also a fascinating look at the people behind Wonder Woman and the lifestyle that they led together. In fact, this serves much more as a history of and expose on feminism and alternative lifestyles than it really does on Wonder Woman.
It's definitely worth the read, you just have to be patient with all of the superfluous minutiae.
