Jill Lapore: The Secret History of Wonder Woman

[mariness]

William Moulston Marston was many things: a psychologist who took credit for inventing the lie detector machine, a failed academic who kept bouncing from school to school, a supporter of women's rights, a man who ended up in a happy triad, a man who insisted that his bondage activities were strictly scientific, and the creator of Wonder Woman

Maybe we ought to officially credit all three of them with Diana's creation?

That's what the book is arguing. Olive Byrne seems to have contributed to some of the scripts.

I could live with that. Restore some more of that hidden industry/artform history.

Thanks for the review. This is a book I've been interested in reading.

I think anyone with an interest in comics will like it.
