The mighty Amazon had always been a popular figure ever since she arrived on the scene and news of her heroic exploits had swept the nation; and her alliance with the Justice League only served to increase her popularity. But the last week or two had seen her popularity spike even more, primarily because of her very public stance as a feminist icon. She had appeared at a number of large pro-women rallies and been hailed as the new face of
