Wonder Woman is the 2017 American movie based on a DC Comics character for the first time starring a female as a superhero. Diana, princess of the Amazons, was raised on a sheltered island and equipped with superpowers to become an unbeatable warrior. When she hears that massive conflict endangers the world, she leaves her home to fight the threat to end the war to end all wars and save the world from evil.
Our living female population is grateful a female finally made the cut to superpower, but is the
movie hero truly the first wonder woman ever? In my mind, many others in history
can be nominated. What about Ruth, Esther, Jael, or Deborah, or Mary from the
Bible? What about Joan of Arc? Florence Nightingale? Clara Barton? Marie Curie?
Sacajawea? Or a special woman you suggest.
I just became aware of Gertrude Caroline Ederle, an American competitive swimmer and
Olympic champion who became the first woman to swim the 21-mile English Channel
in 1926. I’m quite well read. Why did it take me this many years to learn of
her accomplishment?
What
about mothers who are there for us almost every day of their lives but are
often unsung heroes? We’ve just celebrated Mother’s Day maybe with chocolates,
roses, cards, and/or a meal out to show our thanks.
Whether
you favor Hollywood’s version or someone from the Bible, history, favorite
literature, or your own family, share your vote to name your candidate for the true
wonder woman award. Or if you prefer, train and swim any body of water to
surpass past achievements and become a record-holding Wonder Woman in that or
any other field yourself.
