Room in heart for both love and work in modern marriage
A New York writer Mrs Ethel Watts Mumford and her former husband Mr George Mumford spar over art and home life in a celebrated tale of literary devotion versus domestic duty. After a dramatic divorce in San Francisco in 1901 Mrs Mumford remarries, while Mumford marries to a wealthy widow, promising devotion and freedom for her writing. The piece traces her prolific career and the social scrutiny of women balancing art and marriage.
