The book is fascinating. The author clearly researched the character for years. He has a great writing style, the book is full of facts but it reads like he is conversing with you and not talking at you. I would have liked to see the author look more at modern feminism and the comic/geek community so that he could see that there was a big push to have more Wonder Woman in comics, tv, and movies.
This! I read the Wonder Woman series that touched on her killing Maxwell Lord and I thought this exactly! For people who had been her teammates in the Justice League for so many years, Batman and Superman have the audacity to get upset at her for killing a man who was going to use Superman to kill millions. They know she only kills when necessary, they wouldn't make the decision so she did and then they get in a tantrum because of it.
For all of you Wonder Woman fans, this lovely is on sale today on audible for $2.95. As someone interested in Wonder Woman but not knowing a lot about her, this looks pretty interesting and a good way to learn more.

I know a lot of wonderful men and I‘ve been fortunate in my life that that has been largely true. I feel that right now, however, it‘s hard for people to recognize International Men‘s Day - which is today. In that event, let me offer you a couple of suggestions. I think today is a reminder that as a people we need to do more - for men and women, boys and girls. Maybe we‘ll get there. I certainly hope so. #nineteen #NovemberByTheNumbers
Okay, I'll stop soon, but this book has fantastic footnotes!
I love this chapter title.
I never realized what a fascinating history DC's famous Amazonian superhero had until reading Wonder Woman Unbound. I'd be lying if I said I didn't pick up this book in my post Wonder Woman movie obsession, but it was a great read & I learned so much about the history of the comic book industry and Wonder Woman. Definitely a great pick for any comic book or WW fans.
4/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"It wasn‘t enough to just have a female superhero. The prescribed gender roles had to be subverted even further, so he made Wonder Woman demonstrably more capable and comprehensive a superhero than her male peers.” -Tim Hanley, Wonder Woman Unbound

"The future is woman's--as quickly as she realizes her present frustration, and her tremendously powerful potentialities [...] Women will lead the world."
Amazing quote from the creator of Wonder Woman making me love her even more ?? #wonderwoman #comics #thefutureisfemale
It's #WonderWomanDay, you guys! As much as I want to see the new WW movie, I'm waiting a little bit for crowds to lessen. I'll settle for starting this book instead!
Finally reading this one via audiobook to get ready for the Wonder Woman movie!!
I'm on a Wonder Woman reading kick again. Thanks to @8little_paws for recommending Wonder Woman Unbound!
Not really related to the book, but Kate Beaton draws/writes my absolute favorite Wonder Woman hands down.
