Summary
 Frank Ware, a mysterious woman writer, finds herself navigating the literary world under a masculine pseudonym to earn the respect she deserves. Living in the vibrant yet gritty streets of New York City with her adopted son, whose parentage remains a mystery, she dedicates her free time to rescuing prostitutes from their harsh realities. As her bohemian and artistic friends begin to question her choices, Frank is forced to confront profound, life-altering truths. “A Man’s World” captures Rachel Crothers’ most fervent beliefs about gender dynamics, the double standards that govern behavior, the perils of romantic love, and the lingering prejudices that even the most progressive members of society harbor. Frank Ware emerges as a remarkable figure in early 20th-century literature—a strong, independent woman who stands resolutely by her ideals, even at great personal cost.Copyright Plays and Dramas Art Social Sciences
