The title of this novel refers to the struggle between two women, wives of rival physicians, to advance their husbands' interests, protect them from their besetting weaknesses, and win the decisive victory which each in her heart believes her husband is entitled to win. But the interest of the book lies quite as much with the husbands as with the wives; it might with equal justice have been called A Man's War.
