Notable marriages show flawed matches through history
A string of historical figures including Nero, Moliere, Goethe, Milton, Van Dyke, Abrahams, and Shakespeare are described in anecdotes about troubled or unconventional marriages. The piece notes battles with jealousy, favoritism, financial motives, separations, and surprising pairings across emperors, poets, scientists, and actors.

A fragment recounts Anne Bloomer of New York leading a 1850s movement for women’s rights and trousers as a symbol of liberty. It notes the initial shock and later decline of the Bloomer costume, and says one Bloomer woman still lives, facing mockery in modern streets.
