In this book, Joan Ormrod analyses key moments in the superheroine's career and views them through the prism of the female body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores how Wonder Woman's body has changed over the years as her mission has shifted from being an ambassador for peace and love to the greatest warrior in the DC transmedia universe, as she's reflected increasing technological sophistication, globalisation and women's changing roles and ambitions. Wonder Woman's physical form, Ormrod argues, is both an articulation of female potential and attempts to constrain it. Her body has always been an amalgamation of the feminine ideal in popular culture and wider socio-cultural debate, from Betty Grable to the 1960s 'mod' girl, to the Iron Maiden of the 1980s.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoan Ormrod\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in the Department of English at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
