Beginning in his undergraduate years at Harvard, Marston was     influenced by early suffragists and feminists, starting with Emmeline     Pankhurst, who was banned from speaking on campus in 1911, when Marston was     a freshman. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife, Sadie Elizabeth Holloway,     brought into their home Olive Byrne, the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of     the most influential feminists of the twentieth century. The Marston family     story is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1930s, Marston and     Byrne wrote a regular column for \u003ci\u003eFamily Circle \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrating     conventional family life, even as they themselves pursued lives of     extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on     truth—he invented the lie detector test—lived a life of secrets, only to     spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Secret History of Wonder Woman \u003c\/i\u003eis a tour de force of     intellectual and cultural history. Wonder Woman, Lepore argues, is the     missing link in the history of the struggle for women’s rights—a chain of     events that begins with the women’s suffrage campaigns of the early 1900s     and ends with the troubled place of feminism a century later.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This edition includes a new afterword with fresh revelations based on never before seen letters and photographs from the Marston family’s papers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With 161 illustrations and 16 pages in full color\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118654177520,"sku":"9780385354059","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780385354059_p0.jpg?v=1763694190","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780385354059","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
