some of marston moulton's early stories included wonder woman as president of the united states and as a modern-day incan sun god, both non-traditional roles for women. despite such portrayals of women in leadership roles, however, editor sheldon mayer was disturbed by the recurring bondage imagery. if wonder woman's bracelets were chained together, she became as weak as any other woman. according to marston this imagery of bondage was a reflection of the suffrage movement's use bondage as well. he insisted it was important that she could be seen freeing herself, both literally and symbolically, from man-made bondage. but he also upheld some ideals of submission to "peace, restraint and good judgement." one issue dealt with wonder woman losing control because her bracelets had broken; she was driven mad because the bracelets represented restraint, and stated "power without self-control tears a girl to pieces". but under the control of other writers wonder woman often fell into more conventional female positions. after a conducting a survey among justice society readers wonder woman was admitted to the organization in "all-star comics # 11." although published concurrently with marston's run in "sensation comics" the writer of justice society kept wonder woman in the limited position as secretary of the league, rarely involving her in action. in 1947 marston died, and despite his widow's petitioned to be hired as writer dc instead hired robert kanigher. under his direction wonder woman's physical prowess declined. she was no longer depicted in chains she became more and more submissive, and her priorities shifted to a more conventional for her gender role. between crime fighting, diana prince's engaged in more feminine jobs as a babysitter, fashion model, or movie star and in her classic job as steve trevor's secretary with a new dedication to marrying him. a new form of bondage that wonder woman craved was the mantle of wife and mother. in one sensational comics issue, wonder woman tells a woman that she envied her life as a mother and wife.
