Becoming the ex-wife : the unconventional life and forgotten writings of Ursula Parrott / Marsha Gordon. by Gordon, Marsha, 1971- University of California Press, 2023. Call #: 921 G664g Subjects Parrott, Ursula, 1899-1957.   Women authors, American -- 20th century -- Biography.   Authors, American -- 20th century -- Biography.   Women novelists, American -- 20th century -- Biography   Novelists, American -- 20th century -- Biography   Women -- Social conditions -- 20th century. ISBN:  9780520391543 (hc) Description:  ix, 300 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Credited with popularizing the label 'ex-wife' in 1929, Ursula Parrott wrote provocatively about divorcées, career women, single mothers, work-life balance, and a host of new challenges facing modern women. Her best sellers, Hollywood film deals, marriages and divorces, and run-ins with the law made her a household name. Part biography, part cultural history, Becoming the Ex-Wife establishes Parrott's rightful place in twentieth-century American culture, uncovering her neglected work and keen insights into American women's lives during a period of immense social change. Although she was frequently dismissed as a 'woman's writer,' reading Parrott's writing today makes it clear that she was a trenchant philosopher of modernity -- her work was prescient, anticipating issues not widely raised until decades after her decline into obscurity. With elegant wit and a deft command of the archive, Marsha Gordon tells a timely story about the life of a woman on the front lines of a culture war that is still raging today."--Publisher.
