I've finished all three seasons of the 70s 'Wonder Woman' TV show. Now I know why it is well loved and has staying power. Lynda Carter IS Wonder Woman. She embodies everything the character is meant to be and what she represents: spirit, love, kindness, optimism for humanity, displays of physical and emotional strength without them being mutually exclusive or either compromised. Above all - she is compassionate. She is competent, she is an ally who helps and inspires women - even the villains. One other surprise? Men are not threatened by her. No one questions how a woman can be in any way heroic; she just is, and this is seen as normal. Seriously, why is this so hard for modern superhero writers to accept? Original Wonder Woman inspires hope, and makes you feel good and want to do good things. That is part of what feminism and female empowerment mean in my book.
