“I pulled this off the shelf today because I was trying to remember what Diana Prince's original profession had been and recalled seeing it when I skimmed this upon receiving it. I ended up just reading it because it's short and ultimately targeted towards kids. Even so, this was a pretty darn good read. It may have actually been a little too confusing for a young child to read - I'd put it somewhere in at least a preteen age range to really get what's going on.
I learned a lot about the folks involved in creating and catapulting Wonder Woman into stardom, the changes to the character over the years, and how the character coincided with women's rights over the years (yay!).
I don't know if it was just pregnancy hormones, but I choked up several times reading this. I just adore this character so much. She is a wonderful role model for young girls, and with having two young daughters, I've made sure to elevate her in my household.
