Within the origin of one of the world’s most iconic superheroes hides a fascinating family story—and a crucial history of feminism in the twentieth-century.“Everything you might want in a page-turner … skeletons in the closet, a believe-it-or-not weirdness in its biographical details, and something else that secretly powers even the most “serious” feminist history—fun.” —Entertainment Weekly The Secret History of Wonder Woman is a tour de force of intellectual and cultural history. Wonder Woman, Jill 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.Lepore, a Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer, has uncovered an astonishing trove of documents, including the never-before-seen private papers of Wonder Woman’s creator, William Moulton Marston. The Marston family story is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife brought into their home Olive Byrne, the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of the most influential feminists of the twentieth century. Even while celebrating conventional family life in a regular column that Marston and Byrne wrote for Family Circle, they themselves pursued lives of extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth—he invented the lie detector test—lived a life of secrets, only to spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman. Includes a new afterword with fresh revelations based on never before seen letters and photographs from the Marston family’s papers, and 161 illustrations and 16 pages in full color.

At this time of writing, The Ebook The Secret History of Wonder Woman has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Ebook is Good TO READ!

....but I do have to give props to the author. Never could I imagine having the ability to take engaging subjects of early Psychology (those people were colorful!), covert polygamy, suffrage, the dawning of the birth control movement, "special" parties, bondage AND superheroes and make them so boring to ready I considered gouging my eyes out rather than continue. But, alas, I was obligated to read it, so I had to press on.Lepore's issue seemed to be that no fact was irrelevant. I read more random facts about various Harvard professors than I ever needed to know, and yet almost none of them served a larger purpose in the creation of WW. The same goes for other people who were introduced throughout the book. Even people who DID matter, such as WW's creator and his wives/lovers had their tales told in a disjointed and asynchronous manner.About halfway through, Lepore does finally get to the actual creation and writing of WW, which, for the most part was written in a much more accessible and logical manner. I had no idea that WW was so deeply rooted in feminism and drew so much inspiration from Margaret Sanger. This is what made me give the book two stars rather than one. Funny enough, had i not been obligated to read the whole thing, I would have never made it to that part at about 150 pages in.A small peeve of mine is that the footnotes are all at the end of the book, rather than the bottom of the page or the end of the chapter. I think it is done this way because the footnotes are mixed in with references, but as someone who appreciates the extra info, I found this layout annoying and dysfunctional.I would only recommend this book to people who are deeply interested in WW. And of course, also to any aspiring writers out there, as I feel like this book gives great lesson in the importance of a good editing.
