Since the debut of Wonder Woman in 1941, she has been depicted as a savior of humanity, a hero for justice. A person who exemplifies strength, love, and peace, in a feminine persona. With the use of her superhuman powers and keen sense of combative skills, she enforced her beliefs and stood for human equality. It’s no wonder why women of today, identify her as a gender equality icon.
There are at least 6 notible renditions of Wonder Woman (as shown below), all within the entertainment industry. Five of which were casted into the role and one of which was merely in costume. Possibly, the most widely known depiction is of Lynda Carter in the television series, which aired from 1975 to 1979.

In the upcoming movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gal Gadot (of the Fast and Furious series) is casted as the famed Wonder Woman, scheduled to be released in March later this year.
Is this the rekindling of Wonder Woman both on the big screen and television? One can only hope, but for now let’s enjoy what we have.
