Description
"Becoming the Ex-Wife tells the story of US women's changing prospects in early twentieth-century life through the lens of its once-famous but now-forgotten subject, Ursula Parrott. Parrott was a prolific and best-selling author whose books, Hollywood deals, quartet of marriages and divorces, and numerous run-ins with the law made headlines over the course of her unconventional life. Part biography, part cultural history, Becoming the Ex-Wife is a timely story about women and careers, divorce, reproductive rights, and single motherhood told through the life of a woman who was on the front line of a culture war that is still being fought today"--,Provided by publisher.
