The Worth Of A Woman, A Play In Four Acts - David Graham Phillips - Bog

""The Worth Of A Woman"" is a play in four acts written by David Graham Phillips in 1908. The play explores the societal and cultural norms that dictate a woman's worth and value in the eyes of men. The story follows the life of a young woman named Alice who is forced to navigate the oppressive expectations placed upon her by her father, husband, and society at large. Throughout the play, Alice struggles to find her own identity and assert her independence in a world that denies her agency. The play is followed by a dramatic incident titled ""A Point of Law"" that further delves into the theme of women's worth and their place in society. The incident centers around a court case where a woman is accused of murdering her husband in self-defense. The play and the incident both serve as a commentary on the injustices faced by women in the early 20th century and the need for societal change. Overall, ""The Worth Of A Woman"" is a powerful and thought-provoking play that challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the importance of women's rights and autonomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
