The late 1960s saw a new direction for Wonder Woman. Forced to choose between returning to her Amazon sisters or continuing her mission in "Man's World," Wonder Woman surrenders her super- powers and gives up her star-spangled costume. Dressed in the mod fashions of the day, the new Wonder Woman took on a Chinese mentor known as I Ching, who trained her in martial arts as her adventures took her to exotic locals to fight undercover agents and mythological villains.
In this volume, featuring stories that have never been collected before, Wonder Woman faces Mars, god of war, the murderous Dr. Cyber, and an all-female biker gang known only as Them, as well as a modern-day witch called Morgana.

In these classic adventures from the early 1970s, Wonder Woman gives up her super-powers and costume to carry on the battle for justice using only martial arts, dressed in the mod fashions of the day.
In this final DIANA PRINCE volume, detective Jonny Double is kidnapped - and Wonder Woman must rush to his rescue before she battles Catwoman. Then, Diana and her mentor, I-Ching, are transported to a mysterious dimension where barbarians rule.
I was excited to pick up this series of Wonder Woman comics from the 1960s and 1970s, but I was very distracted by the rampant sexism within the pages. I just couldn't really get past a lot of the sexist storylines and dialogue. The stories are intriguing, but not enough to overcome my issues.
