In honor of International Women’s Day, DC has announced New York Times bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson will curate Wonder Women in History, a new young adult (YA) graphic novel anthology hitting shelves December 2020. The anthology will feature an all-star cast of women authors and artists and will present tales of real-world heroes who take up Wonder Woman’s iconic mantle and work in the fields of science, social justice activism, diplomacy, and more.

The graphic novel series for young adults will profile people like Michelle Obama, Malala Yousafzai, and Greta Thunberg, among many more public figures.

Wonder Women in History marks Anderson’s second project with DC to debut this year. In June, Anderson will explore Wonder Woman’s teen years in an original YA graphic novel, Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Wonder Woman has been an inspiration for decades, and while not everyone would choose her star-spangled outfit for themselves, her compassion and fairness are worthy of emulation. Wonder Women in History presents tales of the real-world heroes who take up Diana’s mantle, focusing on the impact of activists such as Dolores Huerta, Malala Yousafzai, and Greta Thunberg; women from the world of science and technology such as Ellen Ochoa and Grace Hopper; women in sports and pop culture such as Venus and Serena Williams and Tina Fey; artists such as Frida Kahlo; and important political voices such as Michelle Obama and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, among others.

New York Times bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson brings together an all-star cast of women authors and illustrators in this anthology of Wonder Women.

Wonder Women in History will launch December 1, 2020.
