Electra Woman And Dyna Girl were a pair of female superheroes whose show ran back to back for a season with Captain Marvel on Saturday mornings. It was to let girls know that they too could aspire to superhero status, not something completely reserved to boys.
It also had a faint trace of lesbianism in the relationship of the two women. Both like Clark Kent work in the world of journalism, the better to hear where there might be an outbreak of evil doing something bad they would have to right.
They had as much scientific gadgetry as Batman&Robin and an Alfred type butler to take care of them in the person of Norman Alden. Wonder Woman at least in the comics never had a sidekick.
Deidre Hall before enjoying decades as a soap opera queen was a symbol of liberated women. Judy Strangis who had an innocence like quality was an able companion and sidekick. Both raised a lot hormone hackles among the pubescent and their dads.
Interesting show, I wish more episodes were done.
