Elizabeth Holloway Marston
Elizabeth "Sadie" Holloway Marston (February 20, 1893 – March 27, 1993) was an American psychologist who was a career woman at a time when it was difficult for women to be so. She was involved in the creation of the comic book character, Wonder Woman with her husband, William Moulton Marston. She was also involved in the development of the systolic blood-pressure test used to detect deception with Marston (which would later be invoked through Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth).

“You cant change what happened between you and your ex-spouse, but you can change your attitude about it. Forgiveness doesnt mean that what your ex did was right or that you condone what he or she did; it simply means that you no longer want to hold a grudge. Forgiveness is not a gift for the other person; it is a purely selfish act that allows you to put the past behind you.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
