Wonder Woman Was Supposed To Save The World For Peace. What Happened?

WORDS Posted: April 13, 2014 10:08 am

“The Golden Age of comics was chock-full of angry, violent male superheroes, so Marston created an alternative. He believed that women were superior to men, and that they would soon take over the world and usher in an age of peaceful matriarchy. Wonder Woman was his way to prepare young minds for the idea of a strong, capable woman, so as to better facilitate the coming matriarchy.”
