About the author

Mary Stewart Cutting was an author and a suffragist. Her works fall under the general classification of domestic realism, a type of fiction popular with women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Some of Cutting's work focuses on navigating courtship and marriage. Her later works, coming at the very end of the nineteenth century and throughout the first two decades of the twentieth century, reflect more of a societal shift in how women were beginning to assert financial capability and independence.

Reviews

[Lexie Lucas]

I had this on audiobook thanks to LibriVox recordings, and threw it on because a prompt of mine was a book with "Marriage/Marry/Married" in the title. All the stories were cute, but I especially liked the one about the dinner party gone awry. The recording had me laughing so hard.

Several stories were boring but the one about the dinner was quite entertaining

Sweet little stories of miscellaneous married couples at the turn of the century. Each has their own troubles and triumphs, but a strong undercurrent of love carries them through. Most of the couples are neighbors, friends, relatives of one another, and it's fun while reading through, to recognize in the leading characters of one story the supporting characters of another.
