"Marston set the foundation for what to expect from Wonder Woman comics in the early 1940s. Stories that take place after Marston' death carry the same elements, although not as overtly. Wonder Woman relies on inducement to lead others and fought against the practice of domination, sometimes in the form of corrupt regimes or abusive men. Compliance, including fear, is a cause of concern for Wonder Woman as she protects others. She approaches her enemies with inducement rather than domination, extending her hand when she can. Diana submits when appropriate, especially to her gods and her mother. Without Marston's theory of emotions laying the foundation for his superheroine, Wonder Woman would not embody the spirit of loving submission readers have seen over the decades."
