WONDER WOMAN

Marion Pellicano Ambrose

I recently posted “I am Wonder Woman, I wonder where my keys are, I wonder how I gained weight, I sometimes wonder why I wonder” on my Facebook page. I received a few “me too’s” from friends of mine. It made me start to think about it little differently.
Wonder Woman was born in 1941 during the era of male superheroes. Originally she fought the Axis Powers of WW II and later evolved into the crime fighter she was most famous for being. She was the first woman superhero to be admitted into the League of Justice, and showed that a woman could not only aspire to be the equal of a man, but in many cases she could be superior. She attributed her success to the ability to utilize her brain power. (Of course her super strength, lasso of truth, and ability to run at 80 mph didn’t hurt either!)
