For some reason CBR decided to re-publish this and its bringing new attention to it:
DC Nerfing Wonder Woman is Comic Legend Denny O'Neil's Greatest Regret
Boy, did I screw that up. My thinking, such as it was, was this: she is a super being beholden to a male God. Let us make her somebody who achieves on her own. What I did, in effect, was take the feminist icon, and de-power her, and then, to compound the sin, give her a mentor who is a male, and then to compound that sin, name the male after one of the classics of Chinese literature.
Instead of the woman who could move a mountain and do anything she set her mind to, Diana became a street-level vigilante with karate skills she learned by studying under a man. This change didn't last long, and eventually, Wonder Woman was brought back to the powerhouse that fans know her as.

Seems a bit odd to drudge this up, we're so far removed from this particular era that's not even like O'Neil would even crack top five worst people to have written WW.
I mean Mark Waid and Tom Taylor wrote worst and they try to defend their nonsense to some degree.
And how is it particularly relevant today? Outside of an occasional throwback story in an anthology or Dr. Cyber (who pretty much has no relation to the original version of the character) complaining about this era of WW is like a Batman fan still thinking "Adam West ruined Batman!" is a searing hot take.
WW being written as a blood thirsty warrior who needs to be called out by Superman or Batman for her moral failures is far more pernicious and relevant than anything leftover from the Mod era.
He tried to do right by Diana and in many ways he did. Those Wonder Woman stories are different, but they aren't terrible. O'Neil brought her up to date, made her hip and cool for the first time ever and for that he should be applauded. The book had gone stagnant, he stirred the water and brought new life to it and Wonder Woman.
Phil Jimenez has a story in DC's Pride Special
Wait....they can't actually draw the Lynda Carter show? After doing a Lynda Carter WW77 comic???
^That art doesn't even mimick a sequence from the show. Its like....the boy is watching a silver Age WW series.
??
oh yeah Drusilla. The one example of a Wonder Girl who's actually just a random Amazon
