H.G. Peter cvr/art; classic Wonder Woman for President
It's worth noting just how radical this series was for its day, and how perfectly it fit the times. Much of the heavy lifting for civil rights was done quietly and out of necessity during the Second World War. The effort was so all-consuming, so vital, so overwhelming, that long-standing taboos were flung casually out the window, as women joined the workforce in record numbers and men young and old shipped overseas to fight and sometimes give their lives to drive back the Axis forces. The defining image of the early 1940s, Rosie the Riveter, shows how quickly and indelibly the fabric of society changed to meet the crushing demands of an international conflict. Marston's Wonder Woman, then, was not a spearhead for change, but in many ways a mirror of its times, as a battered populace still reeling from the Depression tried to make sense of a dizzying world of violence, terror, and sudden change.


The "can-do" spirit that helped a hobbled America to its feet through the traumas of the 1930s was now being applied both to the war effort and on the home front, and this star-spangled heroine was among its finest and most-resolute champions.
