Plot
Exhibitor’s Trade Review summarised the plot as: “a woman, who learned as a child that man’s power was too dominating, strikes out in search of independence. She rears a family as a businesswoman, leaving the children to a governess. Her formula backfires and the fallacy of her ideas is the climax.”[3]
