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

But She Still Wasn’t an Equal

While Wonder Woman was indeed accepted into the Justice Society in the mid 1940s, she was still subject to the sexism of the time. Not only was she held back from participating in the Justice Society’s battle’s (the superhero team was known as the Justice Society before it was changed to the Justice League in 1960), but Wonder Woman was instead just given the role of the team’s secretary.

So much for Marston’s vision of her being a role model for equality! But at least it was a start. In later years, Wonder Woman obviously took on a more prominent and serious role in the Justice League.
