What Every Woman Knows
1919
What Every Woman Knows is a play by J. M. Barrie, first published in 1919, that explores the dynamics of the Wylie family, focusing on the aspirations and struggles of Maggie, the only sister among three brothers. The play addresses themes of love, gender roles, and societal expectations in a male-dominated society, highlighting Maggie's unrequited love for John Shand and her desire for recognition. Notable for its sophisticated social commentary, the play reflects Barrie's broader contributions to the politics of class and gender during the early 20th century.
