Description

In the premiere episode of The Woman He Thought Should Rule the World, David Villaseñor goes over William Moulton Marston's involvement with creating the lie detector.  And how it led to the creation of Wonder Woman's iconic lasso of truth that she uses in the comics. But also, how it made the concept of lies and truth prominent in her stories. I'd be lying if I said this isn't going to be fascinating.    If you enjoyed this episode, leave a good review and positive rating on Apple Podcasts.

Introducing The Woman He Thought Should Rule the World

A look at how one man's eccentricity influenced an iconic hero.   Wonder Woman is one of the biggest names from DC comics, and the face of female superheroes. Yet, many people don't analyze her stories to the same extent they do for Batman or Superman. And many people don't acknowledge the influence from her creator, William Moulton Marston.   I am David Villaseñor and in this podcast, we will look at the eccentric life of William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, and discuss how the fascinating aspects of his life shaped Wonder Woman's character and stories. From his views on feminism, his hand in creating the lie detector, and fascination with bondage, this man has had an interesting life.   The first three episodes premiere this November on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.  This is a podcast made by David Villaseñor from Villaseñor Productions.
