Book Overview
The Lady From Oklahoma is a comedic play in four acts written by Elizabeth Garver Jordan and first published in 1911. The play centers around the character of Mrs. Edith Wumpus, a wealthy and eccentric woman from Oklahoma who travels to New York City to find a husband for her daughter, Peggy. Along the way, she encounters a number of colorful characters, including a group of suffragettes, a wealthy businessman, and a con artist. Through a series of misunderstandings and mishaps, Mrs. Wumpus manages to turn the lives of those around her upside down, but ultimately finds happiness and love for herself and her daughter. The play is a lighthearted satire of American society and its values at the turn of the 20th century, with a particular focus on the role of women in society and the changing attitudes towards marriage and family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
