She does now, but that's a new status quo. I'd never thought taken the Lynda Carter/old school version into account.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that insight!Michael Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514945570212261283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-10512346351477284102008-02-16T07:28:00.000-06:002008-02-16T07:28:00.000-06:00Given that a lot of the working mother demographic...Given that a lot of the working mother demographic is about my age (30s/40s), I wonder how many of them are thinking of the 1970s Lynda Carter Wonder Woman. She didn't have kids, but she did have a full-time job and a relationship that often conflicted with her duties as WW. I know I can't be the only one who watched the show as a child and pictured my adult self as a super-efficient office worker in big glasses and a bun who could become glamorous and powerful at the drop of a (floppy-brimmed) hat. :-) <BR/><BR/>I had no idea until I married a man who's been reading the WW comics his entire life that there was more to Wonder Woman than that, and I suspect that a lot of working-mother bloggers have a very generic idea of who Wonder Woman is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-23474659730402691982008-02-15T11:10:00.000-06:002008-02-15T11:10:00.000-06:00Thanks!
