Powerful. Engaging. Inspiring. Uplifting. Regina Luttrell does a masterful job guiding her readers through the explosive growth of Wonder Woman’s global imprint, distinctly set against the backdrop of the feminist timeline. Wonder Woman motivates girls and women of all ages to push our own boundaries and accomplish the unimaginable by leveraging the powerful, yet truly unique attributes that each of us possess. Wonder Woman: Warrior, Disruptor, Feminist Icon re-orients the reader to the evolution of Wonder Woman, from Marston’s original depiction through present day, incorporating the influences of his life partners Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne while reflecting on each wave of the feminist movement. A wonderful connection between an iconic symbol of feminism and source of inspiration for so many and the historical accomplishments of women everywhere.

Luttrell’s work on Wonder Woman: Warrior, Disruptor, Feminist Icon harkens back to Diana’s core—a character that emerged in early feminist theory and has evolved with her readership into something more than just a superhero. By examining Diana through a feminist, political lens, Luttrell shows how Diana continues to teach us about our own power and agency.

It is high time that Wonder Woman is given the full documentation and credit she is due. Wonder Woman: Warrior, Disruptor, Feminist Icon serves as a tribute to the legendary keeper of space for all female-identifying mortals deserving their own "super" power to draw inspiration from, while giving her very real-life human muses their own long over-due acknowledgment. While catching us up on these admirable feminist figures, this book offers a well-chronicled and fascinating reflection of the reality that what we ask from our role models and larger-than-life heroes has been ever changing, deepening, demanding, and expanding over this last century. Here's to the truth telling by author Regina Luttrell for lassoing our women warriors and giving us a framework to further appreciate if not finally understand Wonder Woman.

Anyone who is a big fan of Wonder Woman should appreciate this deep dive into her connections to feminism though. Those interested in feminism and the feminist movement will find the connections fascinating as well.
