"What Every Woman Knows" by J. M. Barrie is a play that peeks into the Wylie family's lives, especially Maggie's, with her three brothers, in a world grappling with changing gender roles and old traditions. Set in a Scotch home, the story starts with brothers James, Alick, and David, as Maggie quietly dreams of more, harboring a hidden interest in John Shand, a local student; her brothers attempt to protect her while she hopes for understanding and love. The play uses humor to explore how society views men and women differently, weaving a tale of family, aspirations, and the quiet strength found in unexpected places.
