This is the second post in a series looking at the cultural and personal significance of Wonder Woman as a character and a symbol.

What a month.
I missed SDCC ’cause I came down with appendicitis and spent most of the weekend in the hospital. Three sets of parents visited. Three of my best friends from college moved to the area. One of my best friends from elementary school died of an overdose. I went blackberry picking.
