Secret History of Wonder Woman (Paperback)

USD $20.00

(W) Jill Lepore. Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore has uncovered an astonishing trove of documents, including the never-before-seen private papers of William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman's creator. Beginning in his undergraduate years at Harvard, Marston was influenced by early suffragists and feminists. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth ? he invented the lie detector test ? lived a life of secrets, only to spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman, Lepore argues, is the missing link in the history of the struggle for women's rights, a chain of events that begins with the women's suffrage campaigns of the early 1900s and ends with the troubled place of feminism a century later.
