New documentary about the secret history of Wonder Woman recruits Gloria Steinem and Lynda Carter

Director Kristy Guevara-Flanagan rounded up Gloria Steinem, Shelby Knox, Lynda Carter and more to tell The Untold Story of American Superheroines, a title that specifically refers to the lady in red and blue, Wonder Woman. Watch how the superheroine changed over time and influenced all those around her!

WONDER WOMEN! THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, WONDER WOMEN! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation. WONDER WOMEN! goes behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Shelby Knox and others who offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male dominated superhero genre.

Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines will be premiering at SXSW. Hopefully, a new Wonder Woman can clean off her slightly tarnished image thanks to the ridiculous NBC show that never got off the ground.
