The Planet has a photo essay about a true life Amazons in eastern Europe. It sounds like a group where Wonder Woman would feel right at home.

From Jenna Martin's introduction:

In the Ukraine, a country where females are victims of sexual trafficking and gender oppression, a new tribe of empowered women is emerging. Calling themselves the “Asgarda”, the women seek complete autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students...

... Reviving the tribal traditions of the Scythian Amazons of ancient Greek mythology, the Asgarda train in martial arts, taught by former Soviet karate master, Volodymyr Stepanovytch, and learn life skills and sciences in order to become ideal women.

The Asgarda also have a website, where one page in English describes their history and teachings.
