If you haven’t taken the time to read the original 1st issue of WW, the digital version is available for free. (I suspect it’s because it fell into the Public Domain).
Anyhow, images of “contemporary” WW is here from the island of her birth and its original name, to rescuing Steve and subsequently foiling a Nazi trap. You have the bare-bone story that we all know and love.
But, there are quite a few topics and tropes that in some cases furthered the limiting beliefs of its time whether it be what “the role of a woman is,” “What is the proper etiquette for a woman?”
There’s also tropes, not so slightly playing on a certain ethnic minority as depicted by his physical description, job, unethical business dealing. He was also, not so subtly hanging on a wooden pole. The imagery was not lost on me.
This was a snapshot of an industry eighty (80) years ago and maybe the readers sensibility but I love the changes that have been made to this character since then.
And, I mean a whole lot.
