ON THE BACK BURNER

I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I have written about my Mother reading Wonder Woman Comics. I have a Wonder Woman pin that I am embarrassed to wear and after one daughter ran a 100 mile event, I gave her a Wonder Woman pin. Now, when I went to the library today, there was a new book about Wonder Woman. It is a book with words, not pictures. The book has 410 pages. I mean , this is a BOOK. Wonder Woman has a history. The book is written by a Harvard professor and believe it or not, Wonder Woman was created by a Harvard graduate. How ligit does that make her ?She,WW, is a composite of his sisters and is modeled after Suffragists. Isn't that special to know that there is actually a thought behind a comic book. Wonder Woman is at the fore runner of woman's right. Is this not cool ? WW has been in print for 70 years.She was created in 1942. I was 8 years old. She wore a tiara. What girl wouldn't want one. She wore short shorts and a bustier and knee high boots. She would fit in any where. I am just too excited about this. My Mother would be so proud of her.
