Now let’s explain the roots of her name! So there’s her first name, “Gal,” which means “wave” in Hebrew, and her surname, “Gadot,” which means “riverbanks.” How absolutely lovely.

When Gal interviewed with Glamour magazine, she did hold back on her ideas about feminism. “There are such misconceptions as to what a feminist is,” she said. “Feminism is about equality. I want all people to have the same opportunities and to get the same salaries for the same jobs. I realize I’m doing what I want to do because of the women before me who laid the groundwork. Without them I wouldn’t be an educated working mother who is following her dreams; I wouldn’t be here.”
