====Silver Age==== {{main|Silver Age of Comic Books}} In the Silver Age, Wonder Woman's history received several changes. Her earlier origin, which had significant ties to [[World War II]], was changed and her powers were shown to be the product of the [[Greek mythology|gods']] blessings, corresponding to her epithet, "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, stronger than Hercules, and swifter than Hermes".<ref name="Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #105"/><ref>{{cite web|title=The complicated origin of Wonder Woman|url=http://marionetteblog.blogspot.in/2005/09/complicated-origin-of-wonder-woman.html|publisher=Dance of the Puppets|access-date=September 28, 2005|date=September 28, 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130821210849/http://marionetteblog.blogspot.in/2005/09/complicated-origin-of-wonder-woman.html|archive-date=August 21, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> The concepts of [[Wonder Girl]] and Wonder Tot were also introduced during this period.<ref>{{cite web| last= Hanley| first= Tim| title= A Book Look: Kanigher's Giant Birds| url= https://thanley.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/a-book-look-kanigher%E2%80%99s-giant-birds/| publisher= Straitened Circumstances| access-date= January 10, 2011| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110112084021/http://thanley.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/a-book-look-kanigher%E2%80%99s-giant-birds/| archive-date= January 12, 2011| url-status= live| df= mdy-all| date= January 10, 2011}}</ref> ''Wonder Woman'' #179 (November 1969) showed Wonder Woman giving up her powers and returning her costume and title to her mother, to continue staying in Man's World. The reason behind this was that all the Amazons were shifting to another dimension, but Diana was unable to accompany them as she needed to stay behind to help Steve, who had been wrongly convicted.<ref>{{cite comic| writer=Denny O'Neil| penciller=Mike Sekowsky| inker=Dick Giordano| story=Wonder Woman's Last Battle| title=Wonder Woman| volume=| issue=#179| date=November 1968}}</ref> Thus, she no longer held the title of Wonder Woman and after meeting and training under a blind martial arts mentor [[I Ching (comics)|I-Ching]], Diana resumed crime fighting as the powerless Diana Prince. She ran a mod-boutique as a business and dressed in a series of jumpsuits while fighting crime.<ref name="Reed"/><ref name="Hanley">{{cite web|last=Hanley|first=Tim|title=A Book Look: Ads vs. Audience|url=http://thanley.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/a-book-look-ads-vs-audience/|publisher=Straitened Circumstances|access-date=November 19, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131218092413/http://thanley.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/a-book-look-ads-vs-audience/|archive-date=December 18, 2013|url-status=live|date=November 19, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Diana's Memory Album">{{cite web|title=Diana's Memory Album|url=http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/494/|publisher=Dial B for Blog|access-date=November 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508192056/http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/494/|archive-date=May 8, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Wonder what I did on my Christmas vacation?|url=http://twomorrows.com/blog/tnt/wonder-what-i-did-on-my-christmas-vacation/|publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing|access-date=January 5, 2010|author=Mr. Morrow|date=January 5, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100117093021/http://twomorrows.com/blog/tnt/wonder-what-i-did-on-my-christmas-vacation/|archive-date=January 17, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Guion">{{cite web|last=Guion|first=Richard|title=Introducing the NEW Wonder Woman|url=http://www.giantsizegeek.com/2011/03/introducing-new-wonder-woman.html|publisher=Giant Size Geek|access-date=March 21, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130602004812/http://www.giantsizegeek.com/2011/03/introducing-new-wonder-woman.html|archive-date=June 2, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>
