William Moulton Marston was an educational consultant in 1940 for detective Comics, Inc. which is now known as DC Comics. It is said that Marston saw that the DC line was filled with images of super men like Green lantern, Batman and we all know, Superman. With all the male superheroes, Marston began to ponder why there were no female superheroes. Marston threw the idea around and it happened that Max Gaines who was the head of DC Comics at that time was intrigued by the idea and gave Marston the approval to create a female comic book hero to be known as Wonder Woman.
In most versions, Wonderwoman is Princess Diana of the Amazon warrior tribe of Greek mythology. Being the Amazon ambassador to the larger world, she possesses several superhuman abilities and gifts from the Greek gods. She is most known for affiliations with the Justice League.

Wonder-woman is probably the most famous female comic book superhero and character, partially because she is the first and has existed for decades.

Being similar in size and even more powerful than many male characters, she makes her points very clear. Wonder woman was made to represent women. This cause is her popularity factor.
