A Woman of No Importance
A Woman of No Importance is Oscar Wilde’s classic comedic play. The eponymous woman is Mrs. Arbuthnot, a woman who has been scorned by society for having an illicit affair and conceiving a child out of wedlock. Wilde’s play is both a criticism of the shameful double standard applied to men and women in such matters and a biting satire of the hypocrisy of the upper classes in Victorian Society.
