Earlier this month, I wrote about how comics were one of my
favourite genres when I was young. I
specifically mentioned Wonder Woman. Well, a movie featuring that heroine will be
released on June 2, 2017, but the official trailer was released yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lGoQhFb4NM.
Wonder Woman turns 75 this year, and earlier today, NPR
featured a story about her entitled “At 75, Wonder Woman Lassos In A New
Generation With An Ageless Fight”: http://www.npr.org/2016/07/24/487225973/at-75-wonder-woman-lassos-in-a-new-generation-with-an-ageless-fight?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=books&utm_term=artsculture&utm_content=20160724.
There’s a book I’ve been meaning to add to Schatje’s Shelves
entitled The Secret History of Wonder
Woman written a couple of years ago by Jill Lepore. You can find a review of the book at http://www.npr.org/2014/10/17/356989560/the-freaky-fabulous-feminist-secret-history-of-wonder-woman
and highlights of an NPR interview with Lepore:
