Is there always a much cleverer woman behind every successful man?

He believes his success is entirely his own, completely unaware that Maggie is the secret mastermind guiding his career. What Every Woman Knows is a heartwarming story about intelligence and power.****************************The author behind this social comedy was J. M. Barrie, born in Scotland in 1860. As the legendary creator of Peter Pan, Barrie was also a highly successful playwright in London. He grew up in a traditional Scottish household, which gave him a deep affection for the unique humour and strong character of the Scottish working class. Barrie was fascinated by the complexities of relationships and often wrote about the hidden sacrifices women made to keep society functioning smoothly. Written in 1908, What Every Woman Knows directly reflects Barrie's respect for female wisdom.
