✦ Synopsis

Ive never seen more information about Wonder Woman than in Wonder Woman Unbound. Tim Hanley tells us everything weve never asked about Wonder Woman, . . . from her mythic Golden Age origins through her dismal Silver Age years as a lovesick romance comic character, and worse yet, when she lost her costume and powers in the late 1960s. Our favorite Amazons saga becomes upbeat again with the 1970s advent of Gloria Steinem and Ms. magazine, and Lynda Carters unforgettable portrayal of her on television. And its all told with a dollop of humor! Trina Robbins, author of Pretty in Ink With her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, Wonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes. But this close look at her history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman. Tim Hanley explores Wonder Womans lost history, delving into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the motivations of her creators, to showcase the peculiar journey of a twentieth-century iconfrom the 1940s, when her comics advocated female superiority but were also colored by bondage imagery and hidden lesbian leanings, to her resurgence as a feminist symbol in the 1970s and beyond. Tim Hanley is a comic book historian. His blog, Straitened Circumstances, discusses Wonder Woman and women in comics, and his column Gendercrunching runs monthly on Bleeding Cool. He lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
