Autor

Marion Craig Wentworth (died 1942) was an American playwright and poet, known for her engagement with feminist and pacifist themes. One of her most prominent works is the play 'War Brides' (1915), a dramatic piece that concentrates on the harsh realities faced by women during wartime. 'War Brides' garnered significant attention for its anti-war stance and was ahead of its time in the portrayal of women's rights and the impact of war on domestic life. Wentworth's literary style is marked by a strong social conscience, aiming to shed light on the struggles and inner lives of women, particularly within the context of larger societal issues such as war and gender inequality. Her work in 'War Brides' helped raise public awareness and contributed to the dialogue about the cost of war beyond the battlefield, highlighting the personal and emotional toll on those left behind, especially women. Though not prolific, Wentworth's contribution to early 20th-century American literature and social thought remains noteworthy, reflecting the sentiments of a society grappling with the devastating effects of global conflict and the nascent stirrings of the women's movement.
