Professor Marston & the Wonder Women

2017R108 min

Writer/director Angela Robinson’s Professor Marston & the Wonder Women is a bold and illuminating true superhero origin story. It is also a tale of invention, perseverance and courage against the forces of oppression. If behind every great man there is a great woman, Harvard psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston had the good fortunate to have two: his wife Elizabeth Marston and their mutual lover Olive Byrne. In addition to helping him perfect the lie detector test, the women in Marston’s life aided him in his forward-thinking human research studies and inspired him to create the feminist superhero Wonder Woman, a barrier breaking, iconoclastic heroine, beloved by millions for the past eight decades.
