Comments:
This story explains how Wonder Woman got her powers, and how Paradise Island was founded. This story reveals that Diana was born centuries ago and was involved in the trip to Paradise Island from the Man's World. Later stories contradict this version of events, with Diana being born after the creation of Paradise Island.

The adventures of Wonder Tot, which begin in the second story of Wonder Woman #113, take place between page 3, panel 4 and page3, panel 5 of this story.

Synopsis:
Centuries ago, Princess Diana, the infant daughter of Queen Hippolyta is gifted with special powers by Athena, Aphrodite, Hercules, and Mercury. By the time she has grown into a teenager, all the men have been killed in the wars. Hippolyta leads the women on a journey to find a new home for the Amazon race.

Using her God given powers, Diana constructs an ark for the Amazon journey. Then she helps to navigate the ship through several perils, eventually finding a home on Paradise Island. During the journey, the Amazons passed through a mist of eternal youth which makes them nearly immortal. Diana continues to use her powers to protect the Amazons as Wonder Girl.
