The Surprising Origin Story of Wonder Woman
[quote=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-cult ... 180952710/]Hidden behind this controversy is one reason for all those chains and ropes, which has to do with the history of the fight for women’s rights. Because Marston kept his true relationship with Olive Byrne a secret, he kept his family’s ties to Margaret Sanger a secret, too. Marston, Byrne and Holloway, and even Harry G. Peter, the artist who drew Wonder Woman, had all been powerfully influenced by the suffrage, feminism and birth control movements. And each of those movements had used chains as a centerpiece of its iconography.[/quote]

Are you working your way up through the Smithsonian magazine archives?
I read it cover-to-cover each month, and there's always an article or two about topics which I've not given much thought previously. Some articles I've enjoyed recently includes those about Peanuts, the free county of Jones, archaeology from the time of Christ, Borneo deforestation for the sake of palm oil plantations, the plight of the Snow Leopard, and Dayton, TN.

Re: The Surprising Origin Story of Wonder Woman
Somehow I received a free subscription in 2014 so I'm working through it. Too bad the subscription price is so expensive or I'd consider it. I don't really need even more stuff taking up my time! hahZedThou wrote: Are you working your way up through the Smithsonian magazine archives?

Re: The Surprising Origin Story of Wonder Woman
I have an offer for 9 issues for $9 which is pretty good compared to the $29 they normally want at 11 issues a year. Have you been offered a better deal before?ZedThou wrote: I read it cover-to-cover each month, and there's always an article or two about topics which I've not given much thought previously.

A couple of years ago I paid $10 for a one-year subscription. And last year I renewed, $22 for two more years.

I guess I'll jump on it. It's just too fun reading about things you never thought you'd have an interest in, like the Elliott Ness and Hoover rivalry, the rich black slave Robert Webster during the Civil War, Nazi Rudolf Hess's possible insanity about food poisoning while imprisoned (but he saved his food in satchets to be analyzed and which still exist), etc.. Crack pipe stuff!
