WonderWoman to (our?) rescue!

It does annoy me that they want to use "polyamory" - what William Marston lived WAS lifelong polygamy (maybe not Biblically-based, but still not the shifting sands of polyamory). It doesn't take 'religion' or the 'state' to make it marriage - just a true commitment.

Ick at polyamory, but good article anyway. It seems like it would have worked well for the women, one being career driven, and one staying at home to look after the children.

Interesting how Wikipedia writes up the family relationships on the right side panel - I've never seen Wikipedia do this.

Spouse(s): Elizabeth Holloway Marston
Partner(s): Olive Byrne
Children:
(Elizabeth's children): Pete & Olive Ann
(Olive's children): Byrne & Donn

did anyone notice anything listed about his/their belief system?

I haven't found anything (yet) but amazing to read how (second wife) Olive Byrne worked in the home w/all the kids while (first wife) Elizabeth Marston aka Wonder Woman worked outside the home. Elizabeth eventually payed for not only her own kid's college but also Olive's! And went on to support Olive after their mutual hubby passed away. What an amazing story!

Elizabeth Marston eventually had two children (Pete and Olive Ann) and also supported the two children of Olive Byrne, who lived with the couple in an extended relationship. These children, Byrne and Donn, were legally adopted by the Marstons. While Olive stayed home to raise the children, Elizabeth supported the family when William was out of work and after his death in 1947. This included financing the college and graduate education of all four children and supporting Olive until her death in the 1980s. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holloway_Marston
