Copernicus saw PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN at TIFF Read the full article on AICN PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN is a feature film based on the true story of the creator of Wonder Woman, psychologist William Moulton Marston (aka Charles Moulton), and the two women he was in a relation ship with, Elizabeth Marston and Olive Byrne. If you aren’t familiar with this story, hold onto your seats, because it is so crazy it sounds made up. Marston was a psychologist, as was his wife, Elizabeth Holloway Marston. He was a graduate student at Harvard, and his wife was one at Harvard’s sister college, Radcliffe. Eventually William Marston became a professor at Tufts University. There, one of the students in his class, Olive Byrne eventually became his research assistant and ultimately started a relationship with both William and Elizabeth. Olive moved in with the couple and both she and Elizabeth had kids with William. Together, William and Elizabeth developed a lie detector based on monitoring changes in systolic blood pressure. It is still a component of the modern polygraph test. And the strange ties to fame don’t end there. Olive was the daughter of Ethel Byrne and niece of Margaret Sanger, famous feminists and birth control activists. William Marston had some strange theories in the realm of psychology, namely DISC theory, which stands for Dominance.
