Costume, Wonder Woman, 1975-1979
Loan from Lynda Carter
American actor Lynda Carter portrayed the title character on Wonder Woman, a 1970s television series that defined the superhero for a new generation. Despite its light, comedic tone, Wonder Woman presented lasting images of capable, intelligent, and heroic women at a time when gender inequality was at the forefront of our national conversation. Fighting fascist evil-doers while challenging sexist assumptions, Wonder Woman presented an exciting vision of power at a time when many women were fighting the status quo. |
