mmgroberg 's review for:

4.0

A fascinating story, but less focused on Wonder Woman herself than I was expecting. I was surprised by how much of the book I got through before her creation. All the information about her existence after the creator's death in the late 1940s was packed into the epilogue. Maybe the book should have been billed as a biography of him, rather than a history of Wonder Woman. A worthwhile read nonetheless as he and his family lived fascinating lives. I especially enjoyed the insights into the suffrage movement and early 20th century feminism.
