The unconventional brood lived happily together under one roof as Marston cycled through jobs-professor, lawyer, novelist, advertising copywriter-and Holloway’s publishing career supported the family. He fathered children with both women, though Byrne’s children were told their father had passed away. Sadie Elizabeth Holloway was the public wife his marriage to his former student Olive Byrne was kept a secret from the world. Marston had two wives, both of whom received university educations equal to his, though both were consigned to living in his professional shadow. Privately, he was a man steeped in what some would call contradiction, others hypocrisy: a devout feminist who secretly presided over a harem, a passionate advocate for the exposure of deceit who trafficked habitually in lies.
