From Actor Feuds To Alcoholism: Behind The Scenes Of Wonder Woman

Designed to Appeal to Both Sexes

While Wonder Woman was created to appeal to both men and women, she was designed with the intention of appealing to women more. Men already felt welcome to the superhero world and quickly became fans of the new female superhero. But creators at DC comics wanted to make women feel welcome in the world of superheroes as well, creating a marketing scheme of articles and advertisements that would attract women.

When you consider how radical her very existence was in the early 20th Century, Wonder Woman was actually admitted and accepted into the superhero world fairly quickly.
