The Husbands of Edith is a novel by American author George Barr McCutcheon. The story follows the life of Edith, a young and beautiful woman who has been married multiple times. She is known for her charm and wit, but also for her tendency to quickly tire of her husbands and move on to the next one.The novel begins with Edith's first marriage to a wealthy man named Richard. However, she soon grows bored with him and begins an affair with his best friend, Arthur. After Richard dies, Edith marries Arthur, but their marriage is also short-lived. She then marries a third time, to a man named Henry, but once again finds herself unhappy and seeking a way out.Throughout the novel, Edith's behavior and actions are scrutinized and judged by those around her. Some see her as a heartless woman who uses men for her own pleasure, while others sympathize with her and see her as a victim of societal expectations and gender roles.The Husbands of Edith is a commentary on marriage, gender roles, and societal expectations in the early 20th century. It is a thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the struggles of women in a male-dominated society.1908. And decorations by Theodore B. Hapgood.
