2015 Amelia Bloomer Project List This close look at Wonder Woman's
history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a
female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting
bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time,
advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the
1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with
titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often
as she saved the world. In the 1950s, Wonder Woman begrudgingly
continued her superheroic mission, wishing she could settle down
with her boyfriend instead, all while continually hinting at hidden
lesbian leanings. While other female characters stepped forward as
women's lib took off in the late 1960s, Wonder Woman fell
backwards, losing her superpowers and flitting from man to man. Ms.
magazine and Lynda Carter restored Wonder Woman's feminist strength
in the 1970s, turning her into a powerful symbol as her checkered
past was quickly forgotten. Exploring this lost history adds new
dimensions to the world's most beloved female character, and Wonder
Woman Unbound delves into her comic book and its spin-offs as well
as the myriad motivations of her creators to showcase the peculiar
journey that led to Wonder Woman's iconic status.
