Wonder Woman 75th Anniversary

Speaking of Classics, we cannot have a list featuring strong female heroines and leave out Wonder Woman. With the 2017 movie featuring Gal Gadot there's been renewed interest in her stories, and I can't complain. This boxed set was released by DC at the end of 2016 featuring the golden age of Wonder Woman in 400 pages of her best stories, and they really represent the best of what this iconic superhero has to offer. She is benevolent, prefers the route to peace, but uses force when needed. She is described as more beautiful than Aphrodite, wiser than Athena, faster than Hermes, and stronger than Hercules. Wonder Woman really is the ultimate feminist role model, sacrificing none of her femininity while exuding strength on every front. One of my favorite parts of the comic/graphic novel subgenre is the fluidity and acceptance of reimagining these characters' stories, and this collection offers a good representation of the variations explored through the years in her style, backstory, and tone, even though most are from the latter half of her career. Though really, that's a good thing.
