Stories

  • Part 1: Man-Hating Madness · 15 pages

    Paula von Gunther undertakes a series of Amazon tests to prove herself worthy to serve Aphrodite, and her first test: aiding Wonder Woman foil a Japanese plot to drive American women insane.

  • Part 2: Mole Men of the Underworld · 14 pages

    In her second test, Paula must reform the Mole Men of the underworld, which she and Wonder Woman accomplish by opening the Mole Men's eyes surgically to the beauty of the girls they enslave.

  • Lillian D. Wald "The Mother of New York's East Side" · 4 pages
  • Part 3: The Rubber Barons · 13 pages

    To complete the third test of Aphrodite, Paula uses her subconscious X-ray machine to understand the motives of war-profiteering rubber magnates, so as to "change the character of men and make them serve their fellow humans."

  • Human Guinea Pig · 2 pages
  • Part 4: The Treachery of Mavis · 10 pages

    Paula had passed her tests, but in failing to oversee the reformation of a slave girl and the rubber magnates, Wonder Woman has failed twice, which backfires when one of her charges takes revenge.
