She was created by William Moulton Marston.  Marston created the character because he wanted to make sure there was a female alternative to male superheroes, who he didn't think served as the proper role models for girl readers. Despite her place as a modern [[feminist]] icon, Diana is an odd figure among modern superheroines, in that she is canonically a virgin.

Wonder Woman possesses great strength, speed and agility, and endurance, though unlike [[Superman]] she is not bulletproof.  She can fly and has very keen senses.  Wonder Woman also has a pair of [[magic]] bracelets that allow her to deflect bullets, and a golden lasso that is effectively indestructible and forces anyone bound in it to tell her the truth.  Originally, each component of Wonder Woman's costume was the true source of her power--i.e., her boots granted her the speed of Hermes, the mythical Greek messenger god; this has since been rewritten so that the only powers not innate to her are her ability to deflect bullets and her lasso.
