If you have any interest in Wonder Woman (obviously), comics (again, duh), feminism history, the birth control movement, sex and gender politics, women's history... you should read this book. I can't remember the last time I read something that was able to encapsulate such a complex human being, showing both sides without trying to sway the audience who they really are. Marston (the creator of WW) certainly could be easily idealized or villainized depending on who read this book... And there are details and stories that we'll never know that might've filled in the picture.
