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

Wonder Woman Ambassador

On October 21, 2016, it was announced that the character of Wonder Woman was named an honorary ambassador to the United Nations “for the empowerment of women and girls through the “Think of All The Wonders We Can Do” initiative that fights for equal rights and treatment for women,” according to People.

However, this announcement did not come without any backlash. Many people took issue with Wonder Woman’s new appointment, starting a petition that said, “The reality is that the character’s current iteration is that of a large breasted, white woman of impossible proportions, scantily clad… the epitome of a pin-up girl,” according to CNN.
