The Secret History of Wonder Woman
by Jill Lepore (Knopf, 2014); audiobook read by the author (Random House Audio, 2014)
Comprehensively researched biography of Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston (and his extended, unconventional family), contextualised within the history of women’s suffrage and the early 20th Century feminist movement. Lepore bucks the trend by proving an able narrator of her own book.
