Zusammenfassung:Gallagher reviews books The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore and Wonder Woman Unbound: The Curious History of the World's Most Famous Heroine by Tim Hanley and a film Wonder Woman directed by Patty Jenkins. Wonder Woman has a complicated past. Almost everyone recognizes her star-spangled leotard, and many see her as a feminist icon, although few know her complete history - from her creation as a comic character in the 1940s, to her service as United Nations Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls.
