DC has informed retailers the non-fiction anthology OGN Wonder Women of History has been removed from its publishing calendar, with plans to reschedule it sometime next year. It has also renamed the anthology to Wonderful Women of History (emphasis ours).
"Wonderful Women of History is moving to 2021 to align with Wonder Woman's 80th-anniversary celebration and will be resolicited," reads DC's statement.
Wonderful Women of History was originally scheduled for release on December 1, to align with the planned December 25 release of the film Wonder Woman 1984. While that film remains scheduled for release on December 25, this is the second Wonder Woman-related project that DC has removed 'from aligning' with the film, with it also coming out in 2021 to align with the character's anniversary.

Back on September 19, one of the anthology's writers, Lilah Sturges, tweeted that the book was about to be printed.
"I recently wrote a biographical story about Ruth Bader Ginsburg for DC Comics’ Wonder Women of History," Sturges tweeted. "Tonight I had to rewrite the ending of the story just in time for the book to go to the printer. The saddest editorial change I have ever had to make. Rest In Peace, RBG."
