WONDER WOMEN! The Untold Story Of American Superheroines


WONDER WOMEN! The Untold Story Of American Superheroines traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman.

WONDER WOMEN! goes behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real-life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna and others, who offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre.
