'What Every Woman Knows' is a thought-provoking four-act play by J.M. Barrie, exploring the societal expectations and limitations of women in the early 20th century. The story follows Maggie Wylie, a plain but intelligent young woman from an uneducated Scottish family, who agrees to fund the education of John Shand, a serious university student in exchange for his marriage. Although John doesn't love Maggie, she quietly uses her intelligence and connections to propel his career forward, never allowing him to see that she is the true force behind his success. When John takes up with Lady Sybil Lazenby, a beautiful and high-born young Englishwoman, he begins to believe that Maggie is too plain for him. However, when he needs inspiration for a crucial speech, he discovers that Maggie is the one who truly knows and understands him.

Marcella, young and with a new-womanly independence, has a yearning to help the poor. When a gamekeeper is murdered near where she lives, Marcella finds herself at odds with her wealthy fiancé over beliefs about property and justice. The discovery leads Marcella to pursue—among other things—a career in nursing. In settings ranging from village cottages, London slums and hospital wards to fashionable drawing rooms and the Ladies' Gallery of the Houses of Parliament, the book combines a gripping story with serious issues—socialism, rural and urban poverty, poaching laws, journalistic ethics, the Woman Question—inspiring critics to liken Marcella to George Eliot's novels. The Broadview Literary Texts edition records the substantive differences between the two major editions published during Ward's lifetime, and included among the many appendices are news accounts of the murder trial and executions that inspired the novel, and previously unpublished letters by Ward. NB: Mary Augusta Ward has traditionally been known as Mrs. Humphry Ward.
