Wonder Women!: The Untold Story of American Superheroines (2012)
Overview
Explores the concept of heroic women from the birth of the superhero in the 1940s to the TV and big screen action blockbusters of today.

Looks at how Wonder Woman's storyline changed over time while considering how women are rarely depicted as heroic, powerful, or world-changing
