What Every Woman Knows, Classics To Go

What Every Woman Knows is a play written by J. M. Barrie. It tells the story of Maggie Wylie, a young Scottish woman who possesses an incredible amount of practical knowledge and common sense, which she uses to help those around her. Despite her intelligence and capabilities, she is often underestimated because of her gender. The play follows her journey as she finds love, marries, and uses her cunning and wit to secure her husband's political career. Throughout the play, Maggie proves that a woman can be just as clever and capable as any man, and that there is a place for women in the political world.

J. M. Barrie

James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) was a Scottish playwright and author, best known for his play "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up". Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, Barrie attended the University of Edinburgh, but did not graduate. He worked as a journalist in Scotland before moving to London in 1885, where he wrote plays and novels. His works often feature children or childhood experiences and often deal with death or the loss of innocence. In addition to "Peter Pan", some of his other famous works include "The Little Minister" and "Quality Street". Barrie was made a baronet in 1913, and was also awarded a knighthood in 1922. He died in London in 1937.
