She entered middle age at 34. Her marriage was May to September even with only a 6 year age difference. She was “controlling” for expecting breakfast at 7am before, as the primary breadwinner, she went to work in the city involving a lot of physical effort, and expecting a routine rest of day. Her divorce is described in a way which makes her look bad.. jealous and enraged. Even though it’s her husband repeatedly described as petty, critical, someone who didn’t work, and who vindictively gave a report of her drinking to the press even though it was not cited in the divorce decree. (He also got cut off by his own father from inheriting.) Maybe she was glad to be rid of him?<br /><br />I imagine that any successful financially independent woman during those times when it was rare for women to make their own money would have been described as a dramatic, difficult, occasionally hysterical diva by the press. I think writing about women like that in 2018, that some respect should be given to her achievements and nuance to their stories. Read between the lines of what was written in the press back then.
