The Daughters Of Men: A Play In Three Acts (1917)

By Charles Klein and Philip Klein

Book Overview

The Daughters of Men is a play written by Charles Klein and first published in 1917. The play is divided into three acts and explores the lives of three generations of women in a wealthy family. The story begins with the matriarch of the family, Mrs. Van Buren, who is struggling to come to terms with her past and the choices she made in her youth. Her daughter, Alice, is a socialite who is more interested in her own pleasure than the needs of her family. The youngest member of the family is Alice's daughter, Peggy, who is caught in the middle of her mother and grandmother's conflicting views on life. As the play progresses, the women are forced to confront their past mistakes and learn to forgive each other. The Daughters of Men is a poignant exploration of family dynamics and the struggle to find one's place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
