Linda Carter's representation of Wonder Woman.
Just watch a re-run. She wears this school-marm outfit, and she does a *transformation sequence* complete with *twirling* to turn into Wonder Woman, with the requisite revealing outfit.
She has magic bulletproof bracelets, a magic rope that forces truth telling, and she has a TIARA THAT SHE CAN USE AS A WEAPON.
The mind boggles.--

"Camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel. The stuff of legend! Right, Boo?"
Hmmm. Where does Electra Woman and DynaGirl fit into that theory?
What about The Mighty Isis?

Mary Marvel predates them all, at circa 1940:
Transformation sequence? Check.
Superhuman powers? Check.
Skimpy costume? Check.
Magical origin with mythological ties? Check.
Talking animal mascot? Well, sorta, if you allow for Tawky Tawny.
I was in fact at one time working on a story that crossed her over with Sailor Moon...

Last magical girl?
I'm not sure if it's She-Ra or Amethyst.
The United States was the first one to have battle teams aka Sentai (Blackhawks) although color coding didn't come until Metal Men
As to the first magical girl, I was thinkng of who was on the idiot box first.
I knew Mary Marvel predated everyone, but she didn't get on the televison until later.--------------------
