come June second we'll meet the newest wonder woman. Linda Carter was a once in a lifetime deal, but this new one does look nice. the question, what was the obvious feature by which you could readily tell an Amazon from an ordinary woman???

Her size, and by that I mean her overall size. Picture a beautiful, alluring and sexy woman who is the size of Dwayne Johnson. Except Dwayne Johnson is 6' 5" and an Amazon might be a bit taller.

They had one breast removed; it allowed them to shoot arrows better. I read that somewhere, long ago, but have no idea today what book it was.

According to legend Amazons were big, and lesbians. They captured, and mated with, men only to continue the race. Recreational / relationship sex was always with other women. I think it will be a few years before any movies, or tv shows, present that aspect of the legends.

They had something removed so the bow string would not be interfered with.

The new show has gotten very good press.
