What Every Woman Knows
by J. M. Barrie
"What Every Woman Knows" by J. M. Barrie is a four-act play first performed in 1908. When a Scottish family discovers a penniless law student breaking into their home to read their books, they strike an unusual bargain: they'll fund his education if he agrees to marry their plain daughter Maggie in five years. As John Shand's political career flourishes, he remains unaware of the invisible force behind his success—until a beautiful aristocrat threatens their arrangement.
