“In 1972, Wonder Woman was on the cover of the inaugural issue of Ms. Magazine. An emblem of reclaimed feminism, after founding editor Gloria Steinem successfully lobbied DC Comics to give the superheroine her powers back after the ’60s debacle. “As a little girl, Wonder Woman was the only female superhero, so she was irresistible. She was literally the only game in town, the only hero that made you feel good about yourself,” Steinem explained.

Forty years later, Ms. put Wonder Woman back on the cover. “Wonder Woman has been an enduring symbol of women’s power,” Ms. Magazine’s Kathy Spillar wrote in 2012. “We could imagine no better way to urge women to use their own power – the power of their vote – to stand up for themselves and their rights in the coming elections.”
