What changed about Wonder Woman in the 1960s?

1941: The creation: According to lore, Marston didn't initially have a female character in mind when mulling a superhero less masculine than Superman. But Marston later characterises it as a natural solution, saying: “Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.”

Late 1960s: Full surrender: The sacrifice is complete: Diana decides to surrender her superpowers for the sake of being near Steve. Two decades after Marston’s death, that narrative registers as a far cry from the creator’s stated sentiment, when he wrote, “Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world.”

1972: Cover woman: Wonder Woman boosts her perception as a feminist icon by appearing on the first cover of Gloria Steinem’s Ms magazine, thus tying her image to the women’s rights movement.

1973-1975: TV stardom: Wonder Woman increases her presence and popularity on television, joining the animated series Super Friends; making her live-action small-screen debut in a 1974 made-for-TV movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby; and then getting her own Emmy-nominated network series starring the iconic Lynda Carter. Wonder Woman “encompasses everything great and powerful about being a woman, and Lynda took it all seriously,” Wonder Woman '77 writer Marc Andreyko told the DC Comics fan site.

1997-1999: Series scuttled: NBC works on developing a new live-action series in which Diana Prince will work as a UCLA professor of Greek history. Despite national casting efforts, the series is shut down before a frame is shot. Meanwhile, back in the comics, John Byrne is enjoying a memorable mid-'90s run on Wonder Woman by presenting her as a muscular goddess.

2009: Pointing to a return: Wonder Woman gets some solo screen glory again. Keri Russell voices the Amazon-tribe superhero in WB/DC's direct-to-DVD animated movie Wonder Woman, with Lauren Montgomery as the director.

October-December 2016: Ambassador Prince: The United Nations names Wonder Woman as an honorary ambassador, intending to move her beyond supervillain-battling crime-fighter to help raise awareness of gender equality for “the empowerment of women and girls as a critical component for a peaceful and prosperous world.”

June 1, 2017: The star-spangled red carpet: Wonder Woman will mark the first solo film for a superheroine in the DC Extended Universe, and the first DCEU release to be directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins. And yet, Jenkins tells The Post's Comic Riffs: “I don't think of myself as a female filmmaker and I don't think about Wonder Woman as a female film. She's a major superhero.”

Hope this helps, took me 4 hours. ;9
