More About Wonder Woman (Diana Prince): Diana is the daughter of Queen Hippolyta, the first child born on Paradise Island in the three thousand year history that the immortal Amazons lived there. The Amazons had been created around 1200 B.C. when the Greek goddesses drew forth the souls of all women who had been murdered by men and placed them on the island. One soul was held back from creation, the one that would be born as Diana. That soul originally belonged to the unborn daughter of the first woman murdered by a man (whom Hippolyta was the reincarnation of). In the late 20th Century, Hippolyta was instructed to mold some clay from the shores of Paradise Island into the form of a baby girl. Six members of the Greek Pantheon then bonded the soul to the clay, giving it life. Each of the six also granted Diana a gift: Demeter, great strength; Athena, wisdom and courage; Artemis, a hunter's heart and a communion with animals; Aphrodite, beauty and a loving heart; Hestia, sisterhood with fire; Hermes, speed and the power of flight. Diana grew up surrounded by a legion of sisters and mothers. When she was a young woman, the gods decreed that the Amazons must send an emissary into Man's World. Queen Hippolyta ordered a contest to be held, but forbade Diana from participating. Diana disobeyed and did so anyway in disguise, easily winning the contest and being named the Amazon's champion. She was given a uniform fashioned from the standard of someone who had visited the island a few decades earlier.

Yes Elisabeth was the inspiration for much of Wonder Woman, but so was Olive, who was the one who wore the signature wide silver bracelets. If Christie knew her Grandmother Elisabeth, then she also knew Olive, for the two women lived together for the rest of Olive's life, another 38 years after their mate, the creator of Wonder Woman died.
Elizabeth was Diana Prince, Olive was Wonder Woman
I love how they side step her grandfather's mistress and the polyamorous relationship along with Marston's fetish for bondage.
Yeah, I wonder what Christie would have answered if asked what was the inspiration for Wonder Woman's bracelets? Hint: Olive Byrne, the mistress, wore bracelets. Of course, it was no secret to Mrs. Marston, because, as you noted, the relationship was polyamorous.
Despite how progressive people want to make out Wonder Woman to be it's this aspect of the creator and the creation they always side step because it calls into question was Marston truly a feminist or someone who used feminism to get laid much as how the sexual revolution was just an excuse for men to get laid.
G That dude had an awesome life. Banging two babes, top psychologist and makes wonder woman. Even shoves in his Bondage fetish for jokes.
Nothing wrong with having two families if the wives are cool with it from my POV
Okay "Fan Girl", why did no one actually give the name of the grandmother? Poor reporting or, just lazy.
Christie's Grandmother was Elizabeth Holloway Marston, wife of William Moulton Marston, creator of Wonder Woman. In addition, Wonder Woman was also based on Marston's live-in mistress Olive Byrne, she always wore large metal bracelets, Ethel Byrne and Margaret Sanger. Google these ladies and learn something.
I hope WB/DC invited her to the premiere at least
amazing
