HISTORY 

August, 1941. 

At the dawn of World War II, socialite Lauren Mason dreamed that the American Spirit had spoken to her, urging to defend America on the home front during the time of need that was to come. After awakening, Lauren discovered that it had been more than a dream and that she had indeed been granted extraordinary powers. She decided to use those powers to stop criminals and Axis saboteurs as the American Woman. Lauren uses the last verse of the national anthem as a mantra to force the transformation into her superpowered alter ego:

"And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave

While the land of the free is the home of the brave." 

Miss Mason was engaged to Dr. Corey Habot, but they never married. Instead, Lauren married Charlie Willson, aka Major Victory, whom she met in the Battle Squadron during World War II.
