This book was written for someone like me, and I love it. I wish that it had been a little bit more prose-y instead of more like a collection of short essays, but I liked that I learned a little bit more about two of my favorite subjects - Wonder Woman and psychology - and how they interact with each other and influence the world around us.

If there was an option for half stars, I would give this book 4.5.
It's informative without being bogged down with research and studies. It's given me a better understanding of what went into creating Wonder Woman

Such an interesting book.
I made it a goal in 2020 to read more nonfiction books and I am so happy I started with this one! Wonderwoman Psychology is a collection of essays that examine the superhero Wonderwoman through a psychological lens, and there is so much to learn from it. I didn't even know that the creators of Wonderwoman, Dr. Marston, and his wife, were BOTH psychologists. It was so fun to watch these psychologists apply theories like Freud's psychoanalytical theory to one of my favorite superheroes! It allowed me to really apply things I had learned in my psych classes to a genre and character I love! Highly recommend!

Collection of essays, some great, some not for me. Editing a bit uneven as there is repetition in it. Probably the single pieces where written to stand on their own.

This was a fun bunch of essays. I definitely have a better appreciation for Wonder Woman now. The psychology is solid, but not overly technical. That overlaid with the comic book aesthetic makes for a really fun book. I would recommend this to just about anyone. Whether you are into comics or not this book is a great read.
