"The Women" written in the 1930’s by Clare Booth Luce, playwright, Editor of Vanity Fair, and U.S. Congresswoman is a satirical send up of high society women. The play, a classic depiction of a specific era in our country’s history, features an all woman cast. Beautifully clothed, unbelievably indulged, with hours of idle time on their hands, they spend their time in gossip and sexual competition. Yet underneath this glittering surface, a human understanding for, and sympathy with, many of these women is revealed. Produced during the Great Depression, Luce’s brilliant portrayal of a group of self-absorbed socialites made an unflattering social statement about working and leisure class women. Today, in the multi-tasked world of wives and mothers, we look upon the lives of Luce’s women with compassion mixed with great good humor.
