"A riveting work of historical detection that reveals that the origins of one of the world's most iconic superheroes hides within it not only a fascinating family story but a crucial history of twentieth-century feminism. [] Wonder Woman, created in 1941, is the most popular female superhero of all time. Aside from Superman and Batman, no superhero has lasted as long or commanded so vast and wildly passionate a following. In the more than seven decades since she first appeared, her comic books have never been out of print. In years of research, 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. [] As Lepore demonstrates, from Marston's days as a Harvard undergraduate, he was influenced by early suffragists and feminists, starting with the British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst, who was banned from speaking on campus in 1911, when Marston was a freshman. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife brought into their home Olive Byrne, the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. The Marston family story is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1930s, Marston and Byrne together wrote a regular column for Family Circle celebrating conventional family life, even as they pursued a life of extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth--he invented the lie detector--lived a life of secrets, only to spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman. [] THE SECRET HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN is a tour de force of intellectual and cultural history, explaining not only the mysterious origins of the world's most famous female superhero, but solving some of the most vexing puzzles in the American past. 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." [publisher copy] "Jill Lepore's obsessively researched book on Wonder Woman, the four-color embodiment of the women's rights movement, reveals that the life of the character's creator, Dr. William Marston--inventor of the lie detector, charming crank, ardent feminist and secret polygamist--was waaay more colorful than any comic book superhero. Suffering Sappho!"--Art Spiegelman. "THE SECRET HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN is as racy, as improbable, as awesomely righteous, and as filled with curious devices as an episode of the comic book itself. In the nexus of feminism and popular culture, Jill Lepore has found a revelatory chapter of American history. I will never look at Wonder Woman's bracelets the same way again."--Alison Bechdel. "Few historians handle weirdness as deftly or thoughtfully as Lepore. . . [her] brilliance lies in knowing what to do with the material she has. In her hands, the Wonder Woman story unpacks not only a new cultural history of feminism, but a theory of history as well."--Carla Kaplan, New York Times Book Review. Pristine paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Hugely entertaining--& collectible. Signed by Author(s).
