This season, sociologist Trisha Crawshaw joins me for a deep dive into all things comics, gender, and Diana Prince. In the first episode of our Wonder Woman series, we excavate her queer, kinky, feminist origins in the 1940s, as well as the life of the man who created her, Dr. William Moulton Marston. Drawing on historian Jill Lepore's bestselling book, The Secret History of Wonder Woman, Angela Robinson's 2017 film Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, as well as my guest's own research, we delve into the complicated legacy of Marston and the role Wonder Woman has played-- and continues to play-- in our culture, one decade at a time.
