""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.

David Graham Phillips was an American journalist and novelist known for his incisive social commentary and compelling storytelling. Born in 1867, Phillips began his career as a journalist, writing for publications such as The New York Sun and McClure's Magazine. It was through his investigative journalism that he developed a keen understanding of societal issues, which he later incorporated into his fiction.

Set against the backdrop of New York City's high society, the novel explores themes of ambition, greed, and the pursuit of wealth. Through vivid characterizations and intricate plotlines, Phillips paints a vivid portrait of a society consumed by materialism and social climbing. At the heart of "The Fortune Hunter" is the protagonist, Austin Ford, a charismatic and ambitious young man determined to ascend the ranks of society at any cost. As he navigates the complexities of love and ambition, Ford becomes embroiled in a web of deceit and betrayal that ultimately leads to tragic consequences. Phillips' writing is characterized by its sharp social commentary and insightful exploration of human nature. Through "The Fortune Hunter," he offers readers a compelling glimpse into the societal pressures and moral dilemmas faced by individuals striving for success in the Gilded Age.
