From pictures I have seen, she was somehow fast enough to catch her lasso and (I know the art doesn't show it well) she was smashed from inside the bar to a car parked on the outside. I would hope the author gives some reason for these strength feats if we are to assume she is a normal human. That is why when she fights people like Valda, Wonder Woman plays more like a street level fighter, ala Spiderman, than one of the strongest the DC Universe had to offer.
If she fights someone like a Black Adam or Mongul, I am not going to question if they are powerful or not or are on her power scale. But we never seem to get these fights. Off screen panels don't count!
