Notes
- The Bracelets of Submission were created by William Moulton Marston where they made their first appearance in All-Star Comics v1 #8 (January, 1942).
- William Moulton Marston depicted the origin story of the Amazons as Greek women who had been bound by the wrists by men, who at one point realized their power and broke free. They then moved to their own women-only island, where, in the absence of male oppression, they grew progressively stronger and lived a longer life. The "Bracelets of Submission" were still worn as a cautionary reminder: to forfeit one's independence by allowing male dominance over their will sapped them of their own power.
