A niece of Margaret Sanger. Lie Detector Test. Multiple Wives. Family Circle. William Moulton Marston. Sufferage Movement.

It is only 297 pages, with the rest being endnotes.

The History of Wonder Women is really filled with pop culture things that no other Pop Culture phenomenon ever had going for it. The creator, William Moulton Marston, of the Lie Detector test also created Wonder Women. He also had three wives. He was a radical in his thinking about women and feminism. Nothing about the history of Wonder Women is normal.

Fun, Quick Read.

This is the best book when it comes to looking at Jesus Christ through the Historical Jesus lens. This book talked about all the things that my history side was in conflict with the spiritual and belief side. This book is not for a layman reader. I have a degree in secondary education History and enough religion classes from evangelical churches and Bible college under my belt that it was a pretty easy read. With all the written, this is an opinionated book and I did not agree with everything but it is extremely well researched.

Excellent. It is about Fitzgerald and how he came about writing The Great Gatsby and why it is still popular today. Just read it.

First Reads Win.

At first, the reader will be disappointed because the items you except to be in the book are not. However, the book wins you over fairly quickly with the things they include, starting from the creation of New York to present, which tells the history of a ever changing city in a ever changing world. A mini history of NY is really the history of the world. Some objects are very subjective to the author while others are common sense objects to be included. It was a fun read and will be a great coffee book table.

It suffered the case of too much wanting to be like Dracula and too many characters that had a hard time melding together. Once I would get use to a set and their plot line, the author would switch things up and move to another. The writing was okay, but it dragged on. If the plot was just the two original main characters I more than likely would have enjoyed and rated it higher.
