Strong protest is made against Phillips book
New York on May 9 reports a fierce debate over divorce among America’s affluent classes during the war era. Opponents fear novels and plays glamorize divorce, planning a push against this trend with an American Index Ex. to rebuke writers. David Graham Phillips’s Us Wives for New draws sharp critique from church leaders and women’s groups who warn such works erode marriage sanctity. Phillips defends his frank portrayal, saying fiction should expose facts and that divorce is a social reality. Judges, lawyers, and authors weigh in on whether portrayal harms or informs, while some see value in novels as cautionary lessons for wives and society.
