The Wonder of Wonder Women who surrounds, support, teach us us, support us and teaches us how to use and “make a way out of no way” as we open spaces to question, clarify, present our thoughts, and take the responsibility to nourish and keep the wonder flowing in our daughters, nieces, cousins, aunties, friends, colleagues and acquaintances.
We are wonder full…full of wonderness.
Interesting blog about Wonder Woman… we need all the strong women we can get, strong in all that really counts: brains, confidence, and initiative to make America Fair, Just and Caring to all people, everywhere.
Beautiful, When I was a young Girl!, I Lived For Wonder Woman!, Even Went and saw The Movie!
This made my day! Grateful thanks from this Librarian and all of us here at The Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation
Thank you for bringing back the memory of my childhood hero! You remind us all that we must summon courage, determination, and honor every day. We saw the new Wonder Woman movie and it had all of the energy, hope, strength, and inspiration that Lynda brought to my living room when I was a little girl. Wonder Woman is looking just as beautiful as she did the very first time I saw her! Thank you!
Wonder Woman is such a driving force for so many women a character who shows strength over beauty. Lynda Carter is a fierce woman and a tireless champion for women.
