Sweet Gwendoline is the main female character in the works of bondage artist John Willie, published largely in the 1950s and 60s. The story was published as a piecemeal serial, appearing usually two pages at a time in several different magazines over the years. In Germany, the pop punk band Die Ärzte recorded the song Sweet, Sweet Gwendoline that introduced her to a large part of the population that otherwise had no contact to the BDSM subculture. German gothic rock band, Umbra Et Imago, famous amongst the fetish goth scene, also recorded a song entitled Sweet Gwendoline.
