In Wilde's play, he explores the double standards and demands of women in the Victorian Era. Following Mrs. Arbuthnot, an unwed mother who struggles to upkeep her status as a single Victorian mother and the attitude of keeping women moral by punishing them for standards men do not have to face. It is an empowering story of female independence in a society actively working to ensure women depend on men. Wilde's play is female-centric and aware of first wave feminism in the Victorian era. The play was left with mixed reviews durig its run in the Hamarket Theatre in London. It has been deemed the least successful of Wilde's four drawing room plays. The other three being Lady Windermer's Fan, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest.
