The character has been about reclaiming patriarchal myths and re-writing them as feminist subversions since day 1, though. For one thing Amazons themselves are characters from mythology (albeit ones inspired by real people), but the bare bones of Marston's lore was that they were agents of Aphrodite in a cosmic struggle between her and Mars, the god of war. It was a reimagined amalgam of Greek and Roman myth, but its foundations were in myth, no less. And like in the Perez lore, they went to Paradise Island after they were enslaved by a villainous Hercules and liberated with Aphrodite's aid. See this graphic from the GA:
The DC Amazons - especially the Pre-Crisis Amazons - purposely bear no resemblance to the ones of myth in spite of drawing from them, so "Amazon superhero in Man's World" is reductive and surface-level. Not to mention the fact that while other superhero writers were drawing from the likes of Buck Rogers and Zorro, far and away the main text that inspired WW was Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland, a feminist utopian sci-fi novel that has nothing to do with Amazons or superheroics.
I'd reread SiegePerilous' comment you were responding to:
I also highly recommend reading Jill Lepore's Secret History of Wonder Woman or Tim Hanley's Wonder Woman Unbound if you want to learn more about the ideological and historical foundations of the character. Fascinating stuff.
I agree with this (especially Zeus being the true primary antagonist). But I don't think the Amazons healing from their trauma has anything to do with making Hercules a hero and ally.
