alaynahronek 's review for:
The Secret History of Wonder Woman
by Jill Lepore
An almost too exhaustive history of the origins of Wonder Woman (in comic book form). While all of the information was interesting and managed to be somewhat relevant I do believe that a lot of it could have either been cut or condensed. Jill Lepore has a wordy writing style that is easy to read but also leans toward being long-winded. However, I learned a ton of information about the original creator of WW and all the Wonder Women in his life that allowed him to create her. I'm also a little creeped out by how much kink managed to make its way into children's lit because Marston wanted to have his cake and eat it, too. Worth reading, but make sure you get the version with the updated afterword...the information Lepore discovered after the initial publishing of the book is equally as interesting as the entire book itself.
