That's true. I think after Marston died, a lot of her writers didn't know what to do with her, and a lot of them coped by making her a female Superman. Worse, in the animated shows being made these days, a lot of the writers think she's Xena.

When Perez did his reboot, he focused on the two things that made her unique: feminism and Greek mythology, and the result was great. (Bondage was another, but wouldn't have suited his serious approach.)

I'm a huge WW fan, but I haven't done more than peek at her book in the last 15 years because I disliked so much of what they did with her. I basically consider Marston and Perez the only official (to me) WW writers.
