Synopsis "What Every Woman Knows (Mint Editions) "

What Every Woman Knows (1908) is a play by J. M. Barrie. It ran for 384 performances at the Duke of York's Theatre in London and was produced on Broadway as well, making it one of the most successful plays of the year. Inspired by the women's suffrage movement, Barrie sought to explore the intersection of gender and class in Scottish aristocratic society. Adapted numerous times for film and consistently revived on stage, What Every Woman Knows is an enduring work of English theatre by an author whose reputation as the creator of Peter Pan has largely overshadowed the rest of his brilliant career. Behind every great man, an even better woman makes his success possible. In J. M. Barrie's masterful play, a Scottish family worried for their daughter's future seizes the chance to marry her off to a promising young man. Having discovered a young university student in their vast library, they offer to pay for his education if he agrees to take Maggie's hand. Left with no real choice in the matter, John Shand marries into the Wylie family and attempts to launch a career in politics. As his reputation grows--due in no small part to his wife's hard work--Shand begins to forget his impoverished roots, dreaming instead of a future all his own. Funny and deeply critical of the institution of marriage, What Every Woman Knows is a story of romance, ambition, and humility from a legendarily gifted Scottish storyteller. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of J. M. Barrie's What Every Woman Knows is a classic work of Scottish literature reimagined for modern readers.
