Wonder Woman
William Moulton Marston, a psychologist, created the superhero Wonder Woman in 1941 to provide a strong female role model for American readers. Marston's own set of early comics featuring Wonder Woman was given to the Smithsonian Libraries by his wife Elizabeth, along with related correspondence about the character's creation.
Wonder Woman's costume has long been the subject of heated debate. Dorothy Roubicek, one of the first female editors in American comics, sketched this suggestion for a less revealing alternative, which Marston's editor forwarded to him with a note. |
