The Secret History of Wonder Woman
by Jill Lepore
Recommended!
I randomly picked up this book on audio from the library's collection, and I learned so much from it. It's so INTERESTING to view the history of Wonder Woman following women's suffrage, after the rise of women in the workplace in WWII, and then as the next wave of feminism rose up. Like, when she was let in to the Justice Society originally, she was the secretary, because of course. I have never read Wonder Woman or seen the new movie (which I need to, now), but after I listened to this book, I found myself flipping through the Wonder Woman graphic novels at my library and comparing them to the visual I had in my mind. The author reads the book, which can sometimes be hit or miss, but she did a great job. The real life of her creators is cra-zazy and worth the time so you can ogle at the weirdness.
