Wife
Set 40 years after the close of Age of Arousal by Linda Griffiths,
Somerset Maugham's The Constant Wife imagines the life of a married
middle-class woman and precisely addresses the questions raised about the
future of women's rights posed by Griffiths s characters. Looking at these
plays side by side, we can examine the challenges of women's growing
independence in the home and in society.
