While treating shell-shock victims in upstate New York after the Armistice, Marston met Marjorie W Huntley, a suffragist librarian and a believer in “love binding”– now called bondage. When he went home, she followed for an extended visit and became, with Holloway, what she later described as “a threesome”. For the rest of her life, she was a regular visitor to the Marston house, with her own attic room. She would help letter and ink Wonder Woman comics in the early Forties.

His “Suprema, the Wonder Woman” (the first part was swiftly dropped) would conquer through love, offering counsel to bullied children and abusive husbands and looking out for women and children first. She was, Marston said, “psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who, I believe, should rule the world”.

Yet Wonder Woman owed much to the whole family. She sprang from Holloway’s classical studies and straightforward determination.

In 1944, Marston contracted polio and, by the end of the war, was confined to bed. With his family’s help, he kept churning out stories, but was carried off by cancer in 1947. He never revealed his family structure to the outside world, with Olive Byrne described as a housekeeper to visitors and her two sons his “adopted” children. In life, he never achieved the recognition he craved, either for his lie detection work or his iconic character. But thanks to Marston and his unusual extended family, Wonder Woman grabbed hold of the public imagination and never let go. Her new big-screen incarnation is proof that his unconventional life brought enduring success.
