I wasn't sure if you'd be talking that far back. Usually Post-Crisis is pretty well regarded, is it not? It's certainly where many of my favorite stories come from.
I don't know as much about Marvel's era delineations as DC's though.
Wonder Woman has usually been among the weakest in terms of solo series. Lots of great potential villains, never used in a way that made her popular. The fact that by her nature she attracts feminist writers even more than most comics probably hasn't helped her.
It was written as a BDSM Easter egg joke. But, the new origin stories are fucked. One has her mother raped by a god, the other had her mother hate fucking a god.
What was so wrong with creates out of clay with love?!
I was unaware of that retcon of her origin. It’s a shame, that origin was one of the best parts of her. Thinking about it, it’s not surprising that it was changed. The original version implies that a powerful warrior queen might feel unhappy without a child, might want a child, or might find motherhood to be fulfilling, or her greatest gift or accomplishment. That’s fundamentally at odds with their “children are burdens, motherhood will ruin you, don’t find value in being a mother or wife, pursue a career instead” messaging.

The only DC I can remember reading is wonder woman in elementary school. They restarted that twice, and there have been articles about how bad it is.
